Thanks for sharing. Great to hear you have felt really aligned with EF's mission in your sales role. As there is no location on this review you may not have received this info already, but wanted to make sure you knew that there is a DEIB Town Hall this week open to all team members. These occur quarterly and are aimed at fostering transparency, building community, and encouraging accountability. You can always submit questions beforehand so you could bring up your concerns on lack of diversity if you wanted to. You can check with the RED (Recruitment & Employee Development) team or Office Life & Services team in your office and they should be able to point you in the right direction if you need more info. Thanks again for sharing and being part of the team!

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.
