Pros

Honestly, amazing benefits. EF probably has the most comprehensive medical plan in the corporate world. Great dental, good 401k matching. If you do your job you'll travel abroad at least once a year on their dime, which is a pretty nice perk.

Cons

EF has absolutely no interest in employee retention. They hire 22 year old kids straight out of college to man the phones and work them until they get bored, go back to grad school, or get a real job. While the company has "unlimited sick days"- don't take them or you'll be hounded about it by "HR" even with a doctor's note. Pay to lower than average for the industry, but bonuses can get you back to a normal salary.

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.
