The best part of my job is definitely the amazing team – everyone is always willing to support each other, and you can rely on your colleagues at any time. Because of that, it’s a pleasure to come into the office every day.
Another highlight is the variety of the work: no two days are the same. In marketing, you have the opportunity to express your creativity and continuously develop and implement new projects and ideas. This combination of teamwork, creativity, and variety is what makes working here so special.
Cons
Of course, there are occasional challenges you may encounter at work – which is completely normal. However, EF always makes a strong effort to address them and find solutions that support its employees.

You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.
Cons
Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
