EF (Education First) reviews

Because the team is comparatively small and new there are still some growing pains in terms of processes, communication and infrastructure, which can be a frustration.

- Support stops after you arrive abroad. -Although the company claimed to offer free language classes, these were promptly cancelled because it was too expensive. - No HR department. - Management was horribly unprofessional. The director frequently ranked the attractiveness of employees in the office or planned her vacations during work hours. Another supervisor physically assaulted a teaching assistant and management did not care. - Pay starts high but the increases are relatively small unless you apply for a promotion. - Advancement within the company is difficult and depends more on personal relationships with management rather than experience or merit. - There is an extremely high turnover for both academic and sales staff. In my year and half there only about sixty percent of the employees completed their year long contract.
