Thanks for taking the time to share about your experience in our Zürich office. If you have any specific points that you feel need improving you can always bring it up to your manager, Recruitment & Employee Development team, or you can also email us at hr@ef.com—we would love to learn more! EF has human resource teams, 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 have felt supported during your time at EF, and please feel free to reach out directly if there is anything further we can do. Thanks again for sharing.

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.
