      Pros

      Creative and dynamic work environment with significant freedom to test new ideas and approaches. Strong opportunities for junior employees to take ownership early and grow quickly. International setting with a performance-driven culture and motivated colleagues.

      Cons

      High employee turnover, particularly in entry-level roles, which increases the workload for more senior team members. At times, maintaining a healthy work-life balance can be challenging due to the fast pace. Several processes could be automated but remain manual due to gaps in internal information flow and decision-making prioritization.

      Hi, this is great to hear. Thanks so much for taking the time to write about working in Stockholm. These are some great suggestions and we definitely recommend you discuss with your manager if you haven't already (it's also been shared with leadership in the meantime). Glad to have you as part of the team!

      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.
