Pros

EF is truly one of the most open and transparent company I have worked in. Without any complicated layers of management, employees are encouraged to openly communicate and express their ideas and views. Entrepreneur spirit is highly regarded at EF, so you are constantly encouraged to manage your projects/ responsibilities as if you owned it. It's also a very very international company with easily over 10 different nationalities in a single office. EF is for people who love to travel and who'd embrace an international career plus opportunities to work overseas in over offices and schools in over 40 countries around the world.

Cons

It is a super fast-paced and proactive company, so it may not be for everyone!

Pros

You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

Cons

Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
