Pros

The people they hire are fantastic, there's no doubt about that. It's a fun, interesting place to work especially for a first job out of college. Having a bar in the building is a great place to network. What the company is all about - providing affordable global opportunities for students is inspirational and really exciting to be a part of. There are also many different departments so lateral moves between products are common.

Cons

The company most definitely lacks in professional development and any kind of upward growth. Within ET Sales, I have seen only a small handful people be promoted in years, instead they've been hiring from the outside instead of promoting internally. It's also expected that with some of the travel opportunities and great benefits - the salary is simply not competitive.

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.
