      Pros

      Fun people, trips, great offices and office locations, food, beverages, company trips, outings, parties, interesting markets, global network, nice and easy-going people in non-managerial positions.

      Cons

      Poor planning and structure, no professional growth (only changing titles), very messy communication style, poor decision making process, bad management and leadership, too much blaming and issue escalation instead of finding solutions, responsibility without authority, and too much micromanagement. This was in my BU, other BUs could be different.

      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.
