Pros

working at ef has taught a lot, for example how I don't want to be if I'm a manager one day.

Cons

Management, it's all chaos and cliques, my colleagues were great but I'm happy to be out.

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.
