Pros

-Free housing -Free Food -Interesting Students

Cons

This company goes out of its way to extract as much as possible from its employees. That includes forcing staff to work 50+ hours a week, offering no holidays off, and requiring overnight shifts. It becomes very clear within the first week that the company does not care about its employees. At the specific location where I worked some of my fellow staff members were rude and downright strange. They were some of the most unprofessional people I’ve had the displeasure of working with.

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.
