Starting salary is average if you don't make bonus Only being allowed one personal item on my desk seems a little strict The wine and pizza at the bar is too pricey Crowded elevators - bad etiquette

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.
