Pros

You’ll see this everywhere and it’s true, best community you’ll probably ever work with Awesome travel perks Decent sales training to set you up for the future.

Cons

From a sales perspective, it’s pretty unusual to my understanding of the industry to not pay out sales effort if below 75% on the month. I think this should be transparent to any one being hired. I do know it’s been an effort since I’ve left. Because its a lot of people’s first sales position and first job out of college, hires don’t know what to expect from a sales role and I think the company takes advantage of that, for better or for worse.

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.
