-Culture: The culture here is amazing. It is so fun to come to work and love all the people that I work with. I have developed life-long friends. -International Travel Opportunities: I also never thought I'd be in a situation where I am almost having to say no to traveling to amazing places all over the world for work-- but this is such a big part of what we do, especially as you grow in your tenure. -Passion and Innovation encouraged: I also love how, although this is a sales job, we are encouraged in our entrepreneurial spirit and innovation to projects that we care about. These kind of push projects are what keep me here at EF.
