      Pros

      EF is one of the bigger English Institutes in Santiago, so there are always plenty of classes. Students are generally very kind and extremely motivated to learn English. The compensation is pretty good compared to other salaries in Chile.

      Cons

      Teachers receive little to no feedback about classes. Although English First as a whole offers teacher development workshops, it is never announced to teachers actually working at the institute and therefore we are unable to participate in such training. Small pay raises are usually given each year, but there are almost no opportunities to ever be promoted.

      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.
