Pros

Mission: helping change the world is very rewarding Values: The 7 core values all align with personal responsibility and careful stewardship of companies Culture: flat, accessible management and flexible with personal needs Work: given agency to work on projects with no fear of backlash for failures and celebrated for success. The training is also excellent. I'll always be able to sell something from what I learned at EF. Benefits: lots of free travel and generous employment package

Cons

Pay: is lower than average in market Communication: it sometimes feels like people work in silos with others not knowing what is happening in their areas

Pros

Well structured, comprehensive formal training. Perks and benefits

Cons

Once training is done, you’re pretty much on your own to figure things out. The weekly meetings with your manager end. You spend all day on the phones and there’s not a whole lot of interaction or collaboration going on in the office or across your team. At the end of the day it is a job and the perks and benefits are nice (travel). It just seemed social interaction of any kind, even to ask questions, was discouraged and in fact was viewed as distracting. The cold calling just gets to be tiring after a while, making it hard to stay at the job for longer than 1-2 years. Good entry level sales job, though.
