      Pros

      -Fantastic mission that is hard not to believe in (breaking down barriers of language, culture, and geography) -Working in educational travel is fun (cool travel perks too!) -Lots of mobility to move around within the company to grow your career--people are willing to take a risk on you -Great benefits and perks (great health care, free language classes, in-house hair salon, discounts on travel and language programs, etc.) -Young, interesting employees

      Cons

      -Things move really fast so you have to get comfortable with lots of change and with doing things faster than you might like -The travel industry in general isn't high paying -Not always enough visibility into other opportunities around the company

      Pros

      Well structured, comprehensive formal training. Perks and benefits

      Cons

      Once training is done, you’re pretty much on your own to figure things out. The weekly meetings with your manager end. You spend all day on the phones and there’s not a whole lot of interaction or collaboration going on in the office or across your team. At the end of the day it is a job and the perks and benefits are nice (travel). It just seemed social interaction of any kind, even to ask questions, was discouraged and in fact was viewed as distracting. The cold calling just gets to be tiring after a while, making it hard to stay at the job for longer than 1-2 years. Good entry level sales job, though.
