      Pros

      The benefits are good and you don't need to have much experience to be hired so a good place for recent grads.

      Cons

      Really high turn over rate and low job security - especially in sales department. Don't think your job is secure.

      Good Place to Work while Living Abroad

      Pros

      They give you enough support to get set up and live in a foreign country. There are lots of expats working for them there, so it's easier to make friends and be social. They also offer Chinese lessons to all their employees. The job itself isn't difficult, as long as you have a decent grasp on English and how to teach it. The salary is enough to live quite comfortably in Shanghai, go out in the evenings, shop a little and travel too. You likely won't save much over the course of a year, but that's by foreign standards, and is due more so to the exchange rate than the salary.

      Cons

      You're going to be mostly on your own to find housing. They gave me 2 weeks in a hotel before I was forced to find my own place, which can be a bit expensive if you haven't made a friend to search for an apartment with yet.

      Great place to work for recent grads!

      Pros

      A very young and friendly atmosphere makes EF a great place to come to work everyday. They also offer great health benefits and lots of vacation. On top of that, a good work ethic is encouraged, so if or when you do leave the company, you can be sure that you actually have valuable work experience behind you.

      Cons

      If EF paid higher salaries, I don't think the company would lose as many great employees as it does every year.
