      Pros

      The people that you meet at EF, be it the children, or your work associates, are a big part of what makes EF a great place to work. There is an atmosphere of community and friendship in which people will gladly help each other when it is needed. Centres arrange meals, activities and group training regularly through which you can make some strong and rewarding friendships. EF take care of their employees from arrival to in centre work ensuring that the new recruits settle in quickly at their new centres. This makes the transition to a new country with a different culture smooth and exciting. Furthermore, EF hold monthly events for which teachers can apply for and be selected for. I myself attended an event where a large group of EF teachers were afforded the opportunity to try rock climbing free of charge. This was an enriching event where we were able to network with our colleagues, and make new friends from other centres. This was an amazing activity, and there were many more that i could apply for. I recommend getting involved with these as much as possible. All in all, my experience with EF has mostly been fun, engaging and has promoted personal and professional growth.

      Cons

      Although my time with EF so far has been great, there were a few issues with in centre induction, though my personal experience of this may have been due to restructurings and people being away when i arrived. However, because of these things, many of the induction stages were foregone or overlooked, essentially meaning i had to find information myself, or ask a lot of questions to eventually get simple answers that i should have been informed about. Though this was not great, it did not impact my overall enjoyment of the process.

      Thank you for your detailed review. We are happy to hear that your overall work experience at EF has been fun and engaging and has also promoted your personal and professional growth. We agree on the importance of having a strong induction for new teachers. You will be pleased to hear that we are currently implenting a new learning management system (LMS) to ensure that all teachers have access to the most up-to-date training and information.
