Pros

Being a part of a fast paced global company that focuses on changing lives through educational travel. Seeing students grow daily is the best feeling in the world! You learn a lot in a short amount of time and with the proper support of management, youre able to see a clear pathway for your career. Being a problem solver and flexible is really important

Cons

Summers are tough but rewarding. More flexibility on salaries or financial bonuses would be appreciated.

Pros

Well structured, comprehensive formal training. Perks and benefits

Cons

Once training is done, you’re pretty much on your own to figure things out. The weekly meetings with your manager end. You spend all day on the phones and there’s not a whole lot of interaction or collaboration going on in the office or across your team. At the end of the day it is a job and the perks and benefits are nice (travel). It just seemed social interaction of any kind, even to ask questions, was discouraged and in fact was viewed as distracting. The cold calling just gets to be tiring after a while, making it hard to stay at the job for longer than 1-2 years. Good entry level sales job, though.
