It's always about the people. I've made life long friends from working with like minded people at EF.
The mission brings together people who want to make a positive impact on the world whilst working in a for-profit company - not so common!
I also feel rare in my friendship group outside of EF where very few people have stayed at the same company as long as I have. We're often celebrating big milestones for many colleagues so it's definitely a place to build a career if you have the staying power to see things through.
Cons
We move at a fast pace so it's very easy for things to be missed - never on purpose though!

Thanks for taking the time to share this! With over 10 years here it sounds like you've found a really good fit in your role and with the people around you. Great to have you as part of the team.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the community and positive work culture at EF. The Coop experience is a great way to get to know EF. We appreciate your feedback on pay, and input like yours is helpful as we continue to review our compensation practices.
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.
