Pros

There is amazing flexibility to do what you want to do. You have room to grow. There are high expectations but you are given the resources to succeed. It has the opposite feel or corporate America. There is a great energy about the place. A lot of enthusiasm. There is great opportunity to travel. Good / Great benefits (vacation time, health, travel).

Cons

Given that most of the talent is grown internally, the pay scale is generally on the lower end of what you would find elsewhere. Depending on the dept you work for, It's balanced by the opportunity to be promoted. It's a wonderful atmosphere for the young but not very welcoming to employee's families. Significant others are almost never invited to any event and among those who it affects, there's a concensus that it creates friction at home.

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.
