Pros

EF offers the unique opportunity to work in a fast-paced, for-profit company that has at its core a social mission that anyone can get behind. It feels like a start-up with a safety net, which presents so much opportunity to be creative, take chances and innovate. Staff are passionate about what they do and doing the best for their teams. The office is open -- nobody has an office or a cube -- and beautiful. It's a fun work place to work and grow. The organization looks at its staff whenever new roles arise, so there are opportunities for growth for high performers. And if you'd like international travel to be a part of your professional life, EF is the place for you!

Cons

The office is convenient to public transportation, but there aren't a ton of lunch and other options around.

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.
