      Pros

      Mission: helping change the world is very rewarding Values: The 7 core values all align with personal responsibility and careful stewardship of companies Culture: flat, accessible management and flexible with personal needs Work: given agency to work on projects with no fear of backlash for failures and celebrated for success. The training is also excellent. I'll always be able to sell something from what I learned at EF. Benefits: lots of free travel and generous employment package

      Cons

      Pay: is lower than average in market Communication: it sometimes feels like people work in silos with others not knowing what is happening in their areas

      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.
