Vantaggi

Fun culture and people Travel perks (pre-COVID) Ownership of your business/territory

Svantaggi

Pay is absurdly low — no employee should have to fight for bonuses that they rightly earned. (Fair warning that you will not make more than 50k in your first year even if you are a top performer.) not to mention after COVID those who were performing well were completely screwed over with the bonus plan. Managers and leadership are not receptive to feedback. They talk so big, but the execution of ideas is rarely accomplished. Don’t let the “mission” suck you in. All management cares about is numbers and sales, which ends up being a hundred thousand privileged white kids traveling abroad. Lack of Diversity — no initiatives to hire more people of color and no initiatives to sell to people of color. When brought up it is acknowledged and no action has been taken over the years.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. COVID-19 has certainly put a pause on what so many of us love the most about working at EF – the personal travel experiences and seeing the work we do impact customers around the world. We’re very sorry to hear that you don’t feel the commitment to our mission at all levels of the organization. Our mission of opening the world through education has been one of the most important considerations driving our business forward over the last 55 years.

We encourage you to reach out to a member of the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Team if you’d like to discuss this more or if you'd like to be a part of our exciting initiatives.

Vantaggi

Well structured, comprehensive formal training. Perks and benefits

Svantaggi

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.
