      EF International Language Schools - glass ceiling in place

      Teacher/instructor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Range of teaching opportunities in the arts, culture, technologies; broad base of employee skills and management is open to creation of new courses. EF downtown Vancouver is in the process of becoming unionized,

      Cons

      Salaries are low - the private sector of ESL tends to give low wages and full course loads. Minimum requirements for teachers. Difficult to rise through the ranks as head teachers/director positions held by administrative staff.

      Not suitable for mid-career

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fun people, trips, great offices and office locations, food, beverages, company trips, outings, parties, interesting markets, global network, nice and easy-going people in non-managerial positions.

      Cons

      Poor planning and structure, no professional growth (only changing titles), very messy communication style, poor decision making process, bad management and leadership, too much blaming and issue escalation instead of finding solutions, responsibility without authority, and too much micromanagement. This was in my BU, other BUs could be different.
