      Pros

      - Attractive working environment with free barista, gym annual parties and guaranteed travel abroad for most roles other benefits include health insurance options, cycle to work schemes etc. - Entrepreneurial mentality that encourages creativity - Generally positive culture and the possibility to progress quickly with dedication and interpersonal skills

      Cons

      - Salaries can be low for London, especially given that the company asks a lot of their staff - The classic cult-like oddness and politics the higher up you get - Training can be lacking (very, in some cases) with sometimes poor oversight from senior management

      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.
