| Do a search and you will see EF discussed quite extensively by FT's in China. |

EF is a chain school; each school is a franchise run on a corporate philosophy similar to McDonald's. Like any franchise, some outlets are well run, and some are not. Do some research; ask in the INDONESIA forum, and ask the school for some references from past or current teachers. |

I worked for EF in Shijiazhuang, China and it was a really good experience. The staff were friendly, the Center Manager was extremely helpful (sometimes excessively so!), and the DOS did his best to run the school in a professional manner. I would've stayed for another year (as many teachers did), had the school been in a more desirable location.
Like ls650 said, it's like Mc Donalds--sometimes the service is great, other times you get the wrong order and the staff are rude. Depends on the location, employees, attitudes, etc. |
