Pros

Working in the International Division, your able to travel, have ownership of your territory and responsibility for its growth. If you are interested in sales on a passionate level this job is for you. This was my first inside sales job and I loved every minute of it. If you have studied abroad and have a desire to get others to do the same, this is the job, for a temporary while, for you.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations, inconsistent reward. Dont push employees down a path they dont want to go.

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.
