Pros

Office location Vacation time Travel perks if you are in sales! Great place to work if you don't make mistakes!

Cons

ALL the cons outlined by others are all 100% true. However, Main CON is management. Extremely unskilled /cannot manage Managers across the departments play favourites Kinda like wolves in sheep skin Certain employees who cause issues and stress to others have been kept around for years merely because they help bring in sales" not because they are good people. Tend to dispose of employees without warning HR NON-EXISTENT. They will ask for feedback every week, month , year but nothing changes.

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.
