Pros

I worked in EF Finance, and enjoyed my time here. The travel benefits, retirement benefits, people, and the culture are what made me stay for so long. I am a little sad to leave, but I do know that I am ready for my next big adventure.

Cons

wages are within market range, but not on the higher end. there was an overhaul of the accounting system in 2024 that is a bit of a mess. for the right person, it is a great opportunity to shine. you can move up quickly, and it's not like you have to wait for someone to retire to get a promotion.

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.
