Overall and Teacher Events

Pros

Overall, EF is a very organized company. Management and the TRT team provide a clear outline on how to grow within the company and encourage people to look at opportunities for growth. Also, EF compiles a list of events every month which have provided me with opportunities to attend events that would be more expensive otherwise.

Cons

EF classes rely on technology, and too often, computers in the classrooms and/or iPads don't function properly.
