      Pros

      Beautiful office, on-site cafeteria, nice people.

      Cons

      Expectations of employees are disconnected with realities of work life balance. The promise of endless travel should be taken with a grain of salt, the mission while eloquently stated is more lip service than anything. This is a sales organization first and foremost. Pay is sub-market, and you won't see much better than a cost of living adjustment unless you are in management. They have somehow convinced everyone working there that they are not worth paying a market rate, and will let you leave and just train the next man up.

      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.
