      Great place to work for young people - Marketing EF Education First Employee Review

      Pros

      Lots of possibilities to learn, although it is learning by doing, with little training. Great atmosphere with fun people, very international, real community feeling. Great product to work for (international travel and education)

      Cons

      Little option to develop yourself. The strategy seems to hire young people (especially in sales) who work hard and cost little. I was one of the lucky ones to make a career step, but most people leave after 2-3 years due to long working hours, low salaries and lack of development options.

      Pros

      Good training, good communication especially for a remote position, flexible, great management

      Cons

      Scheduling and staffing effectively could be challenging due to unpredictable nature of emergency response, which caused both understaffed shifts and overstaffed shifts. In addition, phone-based customer service can be emotionally challenging - customers in stressful situations can often be difficult to deal with.

      Hearing that the training, communication, and management stood out, especially in a remote setting, is really meaningful. Thank you for sharing! As you mentioned, the nature of emergency response is inherently unpredictable. Our phone-based support in high stress situations can be central to defining the experience for travelers, and the people who handle it are a big part of that. We’re proud of the team you were part of and hope the skills you built here continue to serve you well.

      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.
