Pros

Really GREAT culture. A lot of like minded people who work for the overarching mission of travel and education. They are excellent in regards to benefits and a work life balance. It's a younger company so you're around a lot of people similar in age and mind set. Travel benefits are excellent if you do your job well enough and perks are great. They are good to their employees while you're there

Cons

The pay is decent. As a Tour Consultant, I started at 30K. They do offer bonus but definitely mislead in terms of HOW much bonus you'll eventually make. A promotion to Sr. TC got me 2,000 dollars and capped my growth potential. Good for lateral moves but difficult to continue with progression upward.

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.
