Pros

If are self-driven and take initiatives as well as responsibility for your actions you will achieve great things here. You will have a space and support from top management for all valuable initiatives you always wanted to do in less innovative companies. EF Englishtown is truly entrepreneurial place, where everyone with an idea aligned to business goals can make it happen and become reality. That's what differentiate it from other companies I worked before.

Cons

EF Englishtown has a typical fast growing and start-up symptoms, where not everything is in place yet, but outlook for future looks very positive. If you can't deal with that and you are not ready to be agile, just leave.

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.
