Pros
- Paid in Perks: International Travel once a year all but insured, probable opportunities for additional travel. - Progressive Work Environment: Young workforce, including managers which means it is very laid back and everyone is very approachable.
Cons
- Salaries very low. Sales incentive payments also very low. - NO opportunities for advancement. EF is proud of its "flat" company structure. Meaning that there is not a lot of hierarchy. EF does not off-set the lack of advancement with career development opportunities. This leaves many at the company feeling replaceable and insignificant in the workplace. - Unskilled managerial teams: The typical team at EF consists of a group of 20-somethings at the beginning of their careers with an early 30-something at the beginning of their managerial career. This creates a toxic environment where the team cannot have its needs met because the manager constantly feels out of their depth. Advice, direction, and development are all very far from being the norm with the manager/employee relationship.
