Love the teaching, hate the platform/policies

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I love meeting new students and helping them with their English.

Cons

While I understand there will be technology issues for an online platform, it really disturbs me that the teachers are penalized for deficiencies in the platform. Not only are teachers knocked for missing a class or arriving late when there are EF server issues, but we also lose out on pay for something we have no control over. From a business perspective, it is also harmful because students spend their time in class trying to solve technical issues and not learning English.

Good Training, Low Salary & Inexperienced Management

Business Outlook

Pros

Plenty of learning opportunities for motivated staff, although you have to seek these out. Good for meeting like-minded people living abroad.

Cons

Salary is very poor in comparison to competitors', and they mis-represent this on job adverts. Teachers who don't pass probation are expected to pay for their own flights home, after putting a non-refundable deposit down on an apartment.
