Pros

IGP is an excellent company to work for if you're looking for experience in the college admissions space and are willing to put in the work.

Cons

However, be prepared to put in the work. Although establishing healthy work boundaries is a notion promoted by company leadership, it can be difficult to do so with the demands of the students and their parents. Also, it is certainly understandable that IGP may not be the best fit for someone who cannot afford to start off as a part-time contractor and grind their way to the top, especially if they don't have a strong support network.

Pros

Flexible schedule for most part. Coworkers are all very nice and everyone there respects work- life boundaries. Supportive and collaborative coworkers as well.

Cons

Hours can be difficult at times. Working with lots of people in Asia- that’s the job though.

Pros

- they get you good clients - good curriculum/structure - colleagues are great - good flexibility and work/life balance when you're FT, especially if you are communicative - added perks/opportunities the longer you stay with them (if you are learning their model well) - great pay - if your student gets in Early Decision

Cons

- pay is actually quite low for the service that's requested/the amount of work you actually put in/GC experience level/GC expected education background. I tolerate it because I don't have to worry about marketing and getting my own clients. My personal hourly rate is about 3-5x as high. This is not in reference to what the milestones are - this is referring to the actual work hours (emailing, messaging, scheduling, meeting, editing, editing, editing, editing, reviewing). There must be a lot of overhead or something? Or maybe they pay the FAOs much more? - I think the above makes it hard to be motivated and provide the best service. Especially for really needy students. I would honestly love to work more with IGP - I love the structure they provide - but I cannot afford to get paid so much less than when I tutor or seek out my own students
