Pros

Great people, fun, vibrant and energetic

Cons

Extremely secretive company - which confuses people as to what is important information No HR at all so managers are relied on to do the job of supporting career growth etc (which does not always happen) Some weak managers (and people learning to be managers from them) No training or sponsorship Very few benefits aside from one off drinking events a few times a year

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.
