Pros

It's always about the people. I've made life long friends from working with like minded people at EF. The mission brings together people who want to make a positive impact on the world whilst working in a for-profit company - not so common! I also feel rare in my friendship group outside of EF where very few people have stayed at the same company as long as I have. We're often celebrating big milestones for many colleagues so it's definitely a place to build a career if you have the staying power to see things through.

Cons

We move at a fast pace so it's very easy for things to be missed - never on purpose though!

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.
