Pros

it was flexible I guess

Cons

Maybe they've cleaned up their act since then, but when I was there, they committed a number of wage violations (fining employees who missed a class, classifying teachers as independent contractors) that resulted in the Attorney General of MA suing them on behalf of their employees.

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.
