Pros

Working as a Residence Advisor at EF Education First in Malta was a truly rewarding experience. The job was well-organized and not too stressful — we always worked in pairs or small teams, which made every shift enjoyable and manageable. There were about 20 of us working together, and the team atmosphere was fantastic — supportive, fun and full of energy. Outside of work, we explored the island, went on trips, and shared great moments together. The senior residence advisors and management were always available and very supportive, creating a positive and friendly work environment. In addition to the salary, EF provided free accommodation and full board, which made the experience even better. Overall, it was a great opportunity to work, learn and meet amazing people from all over Europe.

Cons

Honestly, very few! I cannot think of any

How great to hear! Sounds like you had an enriching summer working at the EF Malta school. The supportive colleagues, room and board included, and the fact that the city isn't a terrible place to be located in the summer are all things we know people love about that job. Thanks so much for taking the time to share it for future job seekers.

Pros

Well structured, comprehensive formal training. Perks and benefits

Cons

Once training is done, you’re pretty much on your own to figure things out. The weekly meetings with your manager end. You spend all day on the phones and there’s not a whole lot of interaction or collaboration going on in the office or across your team. At the end of the day it is a job and the perks and benefits are nice (travel). It just seemed social interaction of any kind, even to ask questions, was discouraged and in fact was viewed as distracting. The cold calling just gets to be tiring after a while, making it hard to stay at the job for longer than 1-2 years. Good entry level sales job, though.
