EF Central Jakarta

Bethany, EF is a reputable employer and all its centers are franchises. So that means some are better than others and everyone who works in them comes here with different expectations and ideas of what a private English school should look like. It is not for all people and therefore people use forums to post their dislikes and all the bad things they experienced. However they experienced them, not you. That is not to say that they should not be ignored rather you should discuss them with your employer.
EF pays around 7 million for first year teachers and offers shared housing close to where you work.
I would suggest you speak to the DoS at your center and ask if you can speak to the teachers already there about conditions.

Wall Street, TBI etc pay more and are in different parts of the city but essentially recruit the same people and all face problems over time.

I have worked for EF for over 5 years and yes I take the criticisms and understand them but they have never happened to me or those who work with me and I am as quick to praise EF as I am to criticize it.
Make sure you want to be in Jakarta for a year and understand what that means as well. It is not just the teaching but the lifestyle you will live or can live.
For the other forum posters, lets keep the forum what it is. Happy, positive and good humoured. Lets not start deriding each other over EF. There are too many places already on the internet for that already.

oh and yes, there probably are better employers. But research research research into every offer you get.

Thank you! I know, I have already been offered the job and have taken it so was rather disheartened myself when people were so negative.

I will try and contact the DOS. See you in the crazy city of Jakarta!
