Do not work for this heartless company! - Educational Tour Consultant EF (Education First) Employee Review

If you get a job offer from EF turn around and run as fast as you can the other way. Education First is nothing but a pushy sales organization. They will put you through a long drawn out training process to not even teach you how to sell their product. This company focuses on forcing teachers who do not want to travel with students to travel with them, they use very pushy sales tactics on those teachers and call them until they want to answer the phone and cuss you out. The recruiters will tell you how supportive the company is, but if you are not getting them tours, there is no chance you are staying. You get a sales coach who will tell you how to be pushy and then if you are not blame it on your personality. They do not pay that well and the commission structure is not great either, if you want to be in sales you can go somewhere else and make more. Let me tell you also how heartless of a company EF is. I started with them virtually and did not even get the chance to be with them for 90 days. They put me through a training that was more about policy then it was how to sell their product. I got set up with 60 crusty leads for several weeks, and then they wondered why I had not made any sales after calling through them for about two weeks. After that they gave me a about a 100 more leads who were so cold, it was deplorable. After working with those for 3 weeks, my manager who had met me twice gave me two weeks over the holidays (the worst time for sales) to turn things around. During that time no one reached out to see if I needed help or how I was doing, on top of giving me very unrealistic expectations. To ice the cake, they led me on for several days before letting me go, my manager pushed the meeting off three times which is unacceptable. They decided to fire me instead of lay me off after their failure not mine. I would not recommend EF to anyone, not a soul. They say how great it is, but if you look at the other reviews, you will see a pattern of rudeness and unprofessionalism. As I said before if you get an offer from this company take this review to heart and run the other way.
