      Great company, great people, great career - Director of Sales EF (Education First) Employee Review

      Pros

      - energetic, passionate, smart, positive people who care deeply about their jobs - a culture of giving and receiving feedback to aid in professional development - travel opportunities - lots of responsibility early in your career - great office environment: no cubicles, lots of natural light, glass offices - we aren't perfect, but we are always improving and evolving. Every year, we are a better company than we were the last

      Cons

      - the culture is strong (which is awesome) but I think talented people who don't "fit in" feel that culture is more important than talent. The truth is they are equally important. - starting salaries aren't very high but as you progress in your career, you have the potential to make good money. Just be patient and do good work. Good work definitely gets rewarded.

      Pros

      Good training, good communication especially for a remote position, flexible, great management

      Cons

      Scheduling and staffing effectively could be challenging due to unpredictable nature of emergency response, which caused both understaffed shifts and overstaffed shifts. In addition, phone-based customer service can be emotionally challenging - customers in stressful situations can often be difficult to deal with.

      EF (Education First) Response

      Hearing that the training, communication, and management stood out, especially in a remote setting, is really meaningful. Thank you for sharing! As you mentioned, the nature of emergency response is inherently unpredictable. Our phone-based support in high stress situations can be central to defining the experience for travelers, and the people who handle it are a big part of that. We’re proud of the team you were part of and hope the skills you built here continue to serve you well.

      Pros

      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.
