      Global and is easy to get in. Offers simple products which are simple to understand. Quickly you get in and work with many different aspect of the job. Good money for the right people. Traveling around the world is possible.

      Cons

      hierarchical and very secretive. People are shooting from the hip and called it initiatives. horrible working hours 80+ with no OT compensation. unstructured decision making process, and diverse workforce which would nt understand the importance of collaboration cross boundaries. unacceptable high turnover. many in the management level dont understand the relationship between direct and indirect cost. Forget clap on your shoulders..

      Tour leader

      Business outlook

      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.
