      Pros

      Lots of fun perks including free travel (depending on position), fun daily environment and lots of room to move up. It's very hard to get fired or laid off - if you aren't doing well in your job, they generally just move you to another position. Great place to get a start in the corporate world. May not pay well (15-20k under market value) but will give you an inflated title.

      Cons

      Be prepared to be taken advantage of! Long hours, no overtime and very little in terms of "thank you". While they claim to promote a work/life balance, the people who devote their life to the company are the ones who get promoted.

      Pros

      Good training, good communication especially for a remote position, flexible, great management

      Cons

      Scheduling and staffing effectively could be challenging due to unpredictable nature of emergency response, which caused both understaffed shifts and overstaffed shifts. In addition, phone-based customer service can be emotionally challenging - customers in stressful situations can often be difficult to deal with.

      Hearing that the training, communication, and management stood out, especially in a remote setting, is really meaningful. Thank you for sharing! As you mentioned, the nature of emergency response is inherently unpredictable. Our phone-based support in high stress situations can be central to defining the experience for travelers, and the people who handle it are a big part of that. We’re proud of the team you were part of and hope the skills you built here continue to serve you well.

      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.
