Pros

Great environment, fantastic mission, ability to see the world and make like long friends. The average employee is in their 20's and well educated. Definitely has a work hard-play hard mentality.

Cons

Not alot of growth potential to advance career-wise. Pay is on the low side. Advancing to more senior roles can often be a popularity contest. Managers are also on the young side and not able to motivate teams adequately. Because it is a family owned company not alot of transparency on how strategic decisions are made.

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.
