Pros

Made some great friends who were in the same situation as me.

Cons

Honestly, it's embarrassing how little employees make here, especially for a private for-profit company. They trick you into getting a sales job but won't tell you it's sales. No overtime pay.

Thank you for your review. I'm sorry the role wasn't what you expected. Our recruitment process is certainly not intended to "trick" anyone into any kind of role. We're always re-evaluating the way we talk about our roles, and will be sure to always be clear about what a role entails. -- Mike Kaufman, Sr. Director of People Operations

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.
