Pros

Travel is great, but pay is abismal. It’s a fun environment but keep in mind that plenty of other companies have fun environments at this day and age.

Cons

Pay is a joke. And you’re made to feel like a worthless robot. They will specifically tell you they don’t care to invest in you until you’ve worked for them for after 5 years

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.
