Pros

Please note that both this section and the cons can only be safely applicable to the franchise of EF Changchun Kids and Teens in China, which is a distinct entity from the greater EF corporation. - The academic (teachers and related), service (parent liasions) and administrative departments are universally helpful and supportive. - There is a strong opportunity to build lasting relationships with fellow employees. - With cost of living in the area taken into account, the pay was very good for an entry level job when I first signed up, and whilst not equivalent to other companies in the same area, offered experience with a legitimate and world-recognised name.

Cons

Please note that both this section and the pros can only be safely applicable to the franchise of EF Changchun Kids and Teens in China, which is a distinct entity from the greater EF corporation. - Changes in governmental policy mean that it is increasingly hostile to work in the training center market in China, especially as an immigrant worker. - Local conditions are NOT favourable to LGBTQIA+ and people of colour, and the company had an unfortunate tendency to side with local custom over employees. - Unless you speak fluent Mandarin or Dongbei, your out-of-work social options are few, which means you must be comfortable with co-workers as a considerable component of your personal social life.
