Pros

Great people, open working environment, really unique culture. A youthful dynamic in the main, which is attractive to many target hires.

Cons

Young culture can in fact be detrimental as the compensation model is targeted around that. Upper management is dominated by EF-ers, i.e. people who play the game and talk the talk.

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.
