Pros

Easy to get in Ideal as a first job - it looks good on CV Great job titles (everybody seems to be a manager) Relaxed work environment

Cons

- Most of the people are internally recruited - Everything works with internal networking - either you are a friend or your request can wait - Team managers tend to be quite inexperienced, especially in digital marketing. They are very good with numbers, but have no clue on how to manage, train and coach people. - There is a major lack of internal communication

Pros

You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

Cons

Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
