Pros

EF is truly one of the most open and transparent company I have worked in. Without any complicated layers of management, employees are encouraged to openly communicate and express their ideas and views. Entrepreneur spirit is highly regarded at EF, so you are constantly encouraged to manage your projects/ responsibilities as if you owned it. It's also a very very international company with easily over 10 different nationalities in a single office. EF is for people who love to travel and who'd embrace an international career plus opportunities to work overseas in over offices and schools in over 40 countries around the world.

Cons

It is a super fast-paced and proactive company, so it may not be for everyone!

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.
