Pros

Training and development is too notch and the best I’ve experienced in my career, I still use the skills I’ve learned years later. It’s also a great place to learn sales. People are great- motivated, interesting, fun. Some managers are amazing. Office space is one of the best in Boston. Social environment for newer college grads. Unbelievable travel benefits.

Cons

Everything is sort of a double edged sword at EF- first is of course the pay, all my friends and I who worked there joke about “EF debt” from trying to make ends meet while we worked there. While some managers are good, others are painfully unqualified. While the people are amazing, it creates a smoke in mirrors effect that distract motivated individuals from the real problems happening (lack of growth opportunities, pay, etc) more often than not you’ll see folks be really passionate and satisfied for two years and wake up one day wanting an immediate out.

Pros

It's proximity to NYC is a plus and there are a few really great people here (who deserve to be treated better than they are).

Cons

Mismanagement. Toxic work environment. Overwork and zero work-life balance. Boys club where men are protected even when they break the actual law or behave without integrity.
