      Pros

      -Fantastic mission that is hard not to believe in (breaking down barriers of language, culture, and geography) -Working in educational travel is fun (cool travel perks too!) -Lots of mobility to move around within the company to grow your career--people are willing to take a risk on you -Great benefits and perks (great health care, free language classes, in-house hair salon, discounts on travel and language programs, etc.) -Young, interesting employees

      Cons

      -Things move really fast so you have to get comfortable with lots of change and with doing things faster than you might like -The travel industry in general isn't high paying -Not always enough visibility into other opportunities around the company

      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.
