Pros

Inspiring international culture, smart and passionate colleagues, and a beautiful office in the heart of Budapest. Great balance of autonomy and collaboration. Leadership is approachable and empowering. A truly meaningful mission that makes every day rewarding.

Cons

Sometimes processes can be a bit informal or vary between teams, but that’s part of EF’s agile and entrepreneurial culture. You need to be proactive and flexible, which can be a pro for the right mindset.

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.

Thank you for sharing this reflection on your time as a Tour Consultant in Boston. We're glad the training and benefits were highlights, though we believe strong onboarding is just the beginning when it comes to manager availability and team collaboration. We appreciate you sharing that it didn't carry through in the way it should have. Please don't hesitate to reach out to hr.us@ef.com if you'd like to share more. We wish you the best in what comes next.
