Pros

EF provides high quality resources and competitive perks like a flight bonus and housing. Work hours are generally consistent and you will usually know what to expect every week.

Cons

Summer and winter sessions are extremely busy and can leave you drained by the end. While there may be a foreign manager, he/she is often little more than a mouthpiece for local management.

Pros

Teaching can actually be quite rewarding. The job itself is not difficult and the pay is good relative to the work.

Cons

Frustrating management decisions and tedious administrative work. Conflicts between foreign staff and local staff. Extremely bratty kids that make you want to strangle them, then strangle their parents for raising them.

Pros

Very open environment with very little governance. Promotes new ideas and close knit bond between staff. Modern design workspace, very friendly coworkers.

Cons

Very big segregation between westerners/westernized staff and local staff. Many did not speak english very well and many events were hastily prepared.
