      Not great, not terrible - Foreign English Teacher EF (Education First) Employee Review

      Pros

      Not a bad first job - most coworkers are fun and friendly, you have the ability to work in different countries, and seasonal bonuses are given based on student retention rates.

      Cons

      I wouldn't recommend choosing this as a long term career unless you plan on moving up in the company and away from teaching. Pay isn't great, there is little respect for teachers, and the management is clearly more motivated by sales than quality of education.

      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.
