Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the company culture, international environment, and events here! EF does have HR, but it might not always be called HR in every region. In some countries, the HR function is split between the Recruitment & Employee Development (RED) teams, Payroll, and Legal. For any HR related questions or concerns, we recommend that employees contact their RED representative, who can guide them further. We hope that you felt supported during your time at EF, please feel free to reach out directly to hr@ef.com if you have any suggestions or would like to share further. Thanks again for leaving a review.

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.
