Pros

Young environment. Work hard/play hard attitudes. Great travel benefits.

Cons

Environment can be unprofessional - managers friends with underlings. Too much cheesy "rah rah" in the sales department. Outdated technology. Low pay at all levels except for top management. Hungover coworkers. Due to high travel and generous vacation allowance, people are always out of the office, making the workload heavier for those present.

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.
