Pros

Training is easy and helpful with lots of good information that you'll have to refer back to after you begin teaching. The students are respectful and a pleasure to teach for the most part.

Cons

The pay is terrible and the company is also in violation of several wage/labor laws. They will deduct money from your paycheck for hours that you have already worked if you miss a class or are late turning in grades, even if your absence is warranted.

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.
