Pros
Pretty friendly staff, always ready to help
Cons
Some of the summer students, in particular, are there to have a good time, rather than to learn. But that's not particularly at the fault of the school. As a teacher, though, you have to work at not letting that be de-motivating.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at EF Education First full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Depending on your division, free travel as part of the "job". A wonderful place to meet likeminded young folks. Almost seems like a continuation of college, which could be pro or con depending how you look for it. If you are a driven individual there is usually a lot of opportunity for growth and taking on projects within your division.
Cons
Semi-cult ish. Really want you to drink the Kool-aid and feel "lucky" for being there. Yes its a wonderful place to work, but not up to par compensation wise. They lure you in with the gags. Great place to work when you want to be young fun and free, mix work with social.

Pros
room for growth/other positions in the company. Large international company. Very helpful in onboarding/transition.
Cons
some unqualified teachers, low starting pay
Advice to Management
Need higher recruiting standards. Focus more on screening teacher's characters, not only their ability to speak English.
