      Not a merry Christmas season staying open for Ec. Family should be more important. - Anonymous EC English Language Centers Employee Review

      Pros

      Colleagues are friendly and casual

      Cons

      We used to get Christmas weeks off but ec has since decided to keep us working now. It is pointless staying open during a major holiday. Many students do not wish to be in class so business is slow. We sit here like bored animals. Now I can’t even spend an important holiday with family because 1 day is not enough for me to take a long train ride home. At least last year we had the embassy acquisition keeping all of us very busy and fulfilled. I’m sure none of the upper management has any care for this change since they probably have the power to take off during the holidays anyways. That or they are able to put work before family and expect their employees to do the same.

      Dear Colleague, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I was pleased to read your comments regarding our friendly team but note your views on holiday over the Christmas period. It is difficult to comment on the specific holiday situation in your location as I do not know where you work, and as we are a global organisation, holiday will vary from country to country. As a rule, we try to strive for a balance between offering the best possible service for our students with ensuring our team have enough time off to maintain that work/life balance. As a global education company, we must be mindful and considerate of multiple cultures, backgrounds and religions, amongst other things. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further so we can fully address your concerns. Regards Julian Bell Global HR Director

      Pros

      This is a good place to get started in English language teaching. The students are great, the location is good, and this is an international company with a lot of interesting intersections. Teachers were very pleasant to work with and genuinely cared about student happiness.

      Cons

      Very low pay for Boston, management not sensitive to teacher or student needs, director and HR enable bullying, manipulative, racially biased behavior from staff towards other staff and students. The company also misrepresents itself a bit to the students as a quality language school when really it's a tourist enterprise with a school attached.
