Thanks for taking the time to share your experience working for EF Language Abroad in Malta. We’re sorry to hear that you felt there was a lack of resources and benefits. As a global company, EF Language Abroad offers a wide range of benefits, including tuition reimbursement, free access to EF Hello language learning app, travel opportunities, and various training and development programs. In Malta specifically, we also provide local benefits such as discounts, insurance and hospital plans, as well as access to local events and conferences. We understand that EF’s entrepreneurial environment may not be the right fit for everyone, but it is a core part of who we are and how we operate. It gives our local offices and schools the freedom to shape their own processes and structures, always with the support of our central teams. Thank you again for your feedback; we have shared this all with the team in Malta. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

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.
