Pros

If you connect to EF's mission, and are mission driven - it will be a good fit. The people are awesome. The office is beautiful and the location is great. The benefits and perks exceed norms. Working on programs related to international study/travel, language programs, and exchange is fun. I would guess that it is easier to connect with and experience what your work is at EF more so than in some other industries or products/services.

Cons

You have to pay your dues and really excel in your role to move "up." That being said it's a pretty flat organization. Some people can't handle the peaks and valleys of the work year. When it's slow, it's slow, when it's busy, it's demanding. Regarding compensation - you give up a fat salary to work at a lifestyle company.

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.
