Enjoyable, but don't stay for too long.

Rating: 3.0/5 • Kurang dari 1 tahun dalam jabatan tersebut, pegawai saat ini • Teaching Assistant • 9 Jun 2026
👍 Kelebihan:
So fun working with kids, seeing them smile, u0026 watching them grow u0026 improve. If you enjoy a role where you work mostly with very small children, this is a good choice, especially if you're fresh out of college. Also, I love how the demographics of the team come from many different backgrounds, whether from within the country or internationally.
👎 Kekurangan:
Small salary for more teaching hours compared to teachers. There is no compensation for meals, transport, healthcare, or social security. This is more of an intern role anyways. Also, the Center Director can be rude u0026 loud. I feel sorry for the admin team who has to deal with their relentlessness, always looking for numbers. My answer for recommending this company to a friend is more faceted than a simple 'no'. It's totally fine if you want to work here in any role, I guess you just need the hardiness of a rhino.

If you can, find people who used to work there and ask them honestly how it was

Rating: 1.0/5 • Kurang dari 1 tahun dalam jabatan tersebut, mantan pegawai • Operations Lead • 9 Apr 2026
👍 Kelebihan:
The salary is fair but not very competitive
👎 Kekurangan:
Some senior staff expect a lot of respect but don't always give it back. Even though most leaders are millennials or gen Xs, some behave in quite old-fashioned ways. There is more behind the scenes conflict than you might expect. This can make teamwork harder and affect how you feel day to day. Super draining, imo. "Flexible hours" not what it sounds like or WFH, it's the same thing. The flexibility is not really about freedom. It often means your schedule can change suddenly or you get unexpected tasks even in the weekends. Work life balance it's a myth here. Some managers/heads/directors are good, some are definitely not. Before accepting an offer, try to learn as much as you can about the people, this matters a lot for your growth and wellbeing.

A great place to work, but challenging with the amount of tasks that needs to be done.

👍 Kelebihan:
Supporting Work Environment

Trainings and Meetings that is more clear

kalau ada kesempatan lain di tempat lain, mending ambil

👍 Kelebihan:
tidak ada the good things
👎 Kekurangan:
tidak ada kebaikan disini selain trauma.

Pertimbngkan matang-matang

Rating: 3.0/5 • 3 hingga 4 tahun dalam jabatan tersebut, mantan pegawai • Guru • 13 Feb 2026
👍 Kelebihan:
Gaji meskipun tidak UMR tapi lumayan dibandingkan tempat kerja lain. Gedung bagus dan estetik, fasilitas murid lengkap, training rutin
👎 Kekurangan:
Training rutin namun tuntutan juga besar. Salah sedikit akan jadi masalah dan skill kita dipertanyakan lagi. Beberapa karyawan mungkin dieprlakukan seolah penting, namun yang lain sangat berbanding terbalik. Diberi kelas saja sudah cukup, tidak dilibatkan kegiatan di luar kelas. Belum lagi customer yang sering komplain dan guru akan langsung disalahkan tanpa melihat background dari komplain dan manajemennya. Workload sngat banyak. Weekend pun harus mengerjakan laporan siswa, atau mengkoreksi hasil tes, atau bahkan membuat lesson plan. Cuti hanya bisa sehari 1 guru dan pemberitahuan maks H-1 bulan.

A great place to learn and grow as a teacher

Rating: 5.0/5 • 3 hingga 4 tahun dalam jabatan tersebut, pegawai saat ini • Teacher • 5 Aug 2025
👍 Kelebihan:
What I enjoy most is the opportunity to teach students of all ages, starting from 3 years old. It’s a fulfilling experience that keeps me learning and adapting. The working environment is positive—my colleagues are supportive, the management is approachable, and the atmosphere encourages collaboration and professional growth. There is a clear structure to the teaching materials, and feedback is often welcomed, which makes it easier to grow as an educator.
👎 Kekurangan:
One of the biggest challenges is the inconsistency in salary raises, which can affect motivation over time. More transparency and consistency in this area would help employees feel more valued and secure.

CD never appreciate your hard work, they only look for numbers. Working at EF is not as good as I thought.

Rating: 2.0/5 • 1 hingga 2 tahun dalam jabatan tersebut, mantan pegawai • Customer Relations Officer • 3 Feb 2025
👍 Kelebihan:
Good teammates who will help each other
👎 Kekurangan:
High targets with low salaries

Years ago, I really wanted to work at EF. I tried so many times to work here but failed. Finally I was hired at EF for their new branch. Actually it's not as good as what I expected. The management was quite toxic. They didn't even respect their staff, especially CC position. They didn't count and pay my salary (cut off) and my meals allowances as well. The Central Director always pushed us to hit the target like crazy. And they changed the working hours into 3 shifts (normally 2 shifts).

Rating: 2.0/5 • Kurang dari 1 tahun dalam jabatan tersebut, mantan pegawai • Course Consultant • 17 May 2024
👍 Kelebihan:
A good pathway to learn English with fun methods.
👎 Kekurangan:
The target is too high (must be 40 new students a month!) that mostly people who worked here couldn't reach even an half of it.

The Demands Were Not Comparable to the Salary

Rating: 2.0/5 • 1 hingga 2 tahun dalam jabatan tersebut, mantan pegawai • Progress Advisor • 14 May 2023
👍 Kelebihan:
I loved the environment at the Center; most of the staff members were welcoming, humble, and supportive, and even the customers/clients were generally kind. The events were good.
👎 Kekurangan:
The Line Manager (Center Director/CD) has poor management skills. The CD never provided a satisfactory solution, immediately blamed employees for any customer complaints without understanding the issue, anti-criticism, involved personal problems in the workplace even if they were unrelated, and did not provide CD employees with opportunities for growth (low salaries including low bonuses). Every month and year, targets were always increasing, making it quite stressful. Even my job description was added, where in the end I couldn't focus on my main job description.

One of two Best Employments

Rating: 5.0/5 • 1 hingga 2 tahun dalam jabatan tersebut, pegawai saat ini • Teacher • 7 May 2023
👍 Kelebihan:
EF English First doesn't just perceive you as an employee: you're deemed as an individual. You are given the right to talk and share what you think as the best improvement. You are not just being forsaken: your every progress is meticulously being appreciated. Eduka trusts honesty more than anything: you are trained to be as you are. You work with your own sincerity.
👎 Kekurangan:
Being a multi-national English school isn't always easy. Some local startups will always try to deprive EF's fame. You are to be ready to read black marketings on social media: and even being accused of doing something that you don't do. Just lock your heart and love your students: those are what you have to do.

I have been teaching English at English First since 2012 and continuing my career as a Schedule Coordinator and a Senior Teacher. I have been hiring and coaching teachers.

Rating: 3.0/5 • 11 hingga 12 tahun dalam jabatan tersebut, pegawai saat ini • Senior Teacher • 23 Mar 2023

I was promoted to be an acting Senior Teaching Manager.
