      Warning! Look past the perks - Tour Consultant EF (Education First) Employee Review

      Pros

      Free trips, no dress code

      Cons

      You are just another number on the floor. They get you in the job by the culture and free trips, but there is ZERO career growth, the managers don't care about you, and the money is horrible. Seriously look elsewhere if you want an actual career, the turnover of tour consultants speaks for itself. People quit every other day, save yourself the pain and find a company that cares about you as a person and your career growth.

Early career opportunities while having fun along the way is a big part of what we hope people experience working at EF, and we are happy to hear this in your reflection.

      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.
