Hello, thanks for sharing! Love hearing that the people, work travel opportunities, and ownership you feel in your role are big pros for you. Salary progression is generally linked to role scope and responsibility. We recommend discussing your growth goals with your manager to understand what progression might involve for you.

Pros

Incredible peer level colleagues. Met some of the BEST people working at EF. Fantastic benefits. Best insurance I’ve ever had.

Cons

Pay is SO so low. Bare minimum. Their bonus structure is wild. Not sure what’s going on in the finance department and whoever sets the bonus structure but whoever is setting it seems to truly have no clue what they’re doing. The structure was constantly changing. People were consistently not reaching their goals. So many parts of the goals you had to reach were so beyond your control.
