      Pros

      - the people are truly the best part about EF - it's the reason I decided to work here in the first place and the reason i continue to stay! such a strong and fun and hardworking company culture! -travel perks are so fun! can ebb and flow depending on tenure but would not have been able to travel as much if I did not work here -ability to grow fast and learn a lot. you are given a lot of autonomy (especially in sales) -belief in leadership. love the leadership team in my product -retention - so many people are staying right now -such a great entry level sales role to start your career in. you learn so much so fast and have fun doing it! -great work life balance. i literally never think about work on the weekends or after 5:30pm

      Cons

      - never feel like we are getting paid enough, especially in Boston but it's a lot better than when i started 5+ years ago. with that being said, with all the free travel + fun office culture, it makes it worth it! -can be hard to find new roles since retention is so high right now so not much movement

      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.
