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

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.
