Thank you for your feedback. While it's great to know that you enjoyed the EF culture and opportunity to travel, we're sorry to read your feedback on compensation. We do regularly review our compensation packages to ensure they are competitive in the local markets. With a sales job like the Tour Consultant role, there is a mix of base salary and bonus for hitting and surpassing sales targets. Our sales people who are able to hit those goals can make significant earnings year after year. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and hope you can find a role that feels like a better fit for you.

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.
