      Pros

      Get to visit cool places Colleagues are fun Students are generally great Very flexible work Great rates of pay for day excursions and parties Plenty of work available Weekly pay

      Cons

      Rates of pay less good for hourly activities and didn’t always feel worth it Residential trips seem likes a good deal but are actually paid very unfairly Management varies massively on a person to person basis

      We are currently recruiting Activity Leaders for summer roles in our schools so thanks for sharing so other job seekers can see! The people you get to meet, flexibility and availability of work, and opportunities to take part in unique excursions are things others have definitely said they love about the role, too. We have also shared your constructive points with the EF Language Abroad team in the UK. Thanks again for the time you spent with EF and for the feedback.

      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.
