Pros

EF has great time off policies and makes sure you get to take time off. The health benefits are also unmatched. I did have the opportunity to work remotely for EF and the flexibility was great. They are not a remote first company

Cons

Pay was not great and ability to grow and move up was very difficult. They claim you pave your own path but don't provide a lot of support to grow in your role. As a sales person my territory was changed every 6 months causing me to have to start from scratch and having the inability to earn my bonus.

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.
