      Pros

      Not so hard to get started. You get a good title and they drop you in the pool so you have to learn to swim quickly. Workload is high, especially as you are learning from scratch. Good atmosphere with young international colleagues. Good opportunities for travel and meeting young people. Relative freedom if you have the right manager. You get to be quite all round in your department.

      Cons

      Long hours, pay is not great even though it is marketed as being great. No pension. Politics mainly with management. In my case I would have had to move abroad if I wanted to go on with my career in the company. Lack of clear career paths. Senior managment in place because they are loyal rather than competent.

      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.
