      Pros

      It's a nice job right out of college, but if you try to do anything beyond that you won't have much satisfaction. "Work hard, play hard" is something they take very seriously. You can see they have a lot of management come from inside, but how they got there is questionable.

      Cons

      If you're not joining happy hour, you're never going to get "in" with the company. You'll be doing a lot of work for low pay and have no life outside of EF. This is a perfect formula for someone who has just graduated and gets some help from mom and dad with the rent-- get the experience then move on in a few years. If you're an adult who doesn't want to spend a lot of time drinking with your coworkers, EF probably isn't the place for you.

      Pros

      Good training, good communication especially for a remote position, flexible, great management

      Cons

      Scheduling and staffing effectively could be challenging due to unpredictable nature of emergency response, which caused both understaffed shifts and overstaffed shifts. In addition, phone-based customer service can be emotionally challenging - customers in stressful situations can often be difficult to deal with.

      EF (Education First) Response

      Hearing that the training, communication, and management stood out, especially in a remote setting, is really meaningful. Thank you for sharing! As you mentioned, the nature of emergency response is inherently unpredictable. Our phone-based support in high stress situations can be central to defining the experience for travelers, and the people who handle it are a big part of that. We’re proud of the team you were part of and hope the skills you built here continue to serve you well.

      Pros

      You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

      Cons

      Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
