Pros

1.proper training(have training structure, as new bird join the company, can learn a lots from begginer level to advance), career development prospect(typical U.S style, motive staff with visionable goals), team work, less networking deal with internal staff (that's more focus on work itself) and management. 2.pay on time, good insurance and staff welfare

Cons

1.Work time table was tough, from 10:00 - 22:00. Sometime you need stay back around 23:00 is quite common. 2.Not allow have long annual leave, for example, if you are take the senior consultant job, your family member have emergency, you have to apply for MC, you might need to consider quite the job or either keep your job but not the same position. 3.If it is marry lady, i don't think can balance the family and job quite well. Unless you are not at the sales position.

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

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.
