      Pros

      EF Tours has a young company culture feel and the environment can be fun (happy hours, beer offered as an incentive, etc.). Furthermore, EF has a world wide presence and it is possible to transition to a new opportunity abroad or within the US. New employees are also offered a generous benefits package.

      Cons

      If you are starting out at EF, more likely than not, you would be starting out as a Tour Consultant. Because this is a sales position, the turn over rate is very high and the hours can be long. The starting salary, additionally, can be non-competitive.

      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.
