Pros

- great friends, positive peer-to-peer environment - good company to join as an entry level to build your resume

Cons

- lower level employees do not matter to senior leadership - plans are often rolled out macro without thinking about how they will impact the micro - if you end up in the customer success pipeline, there are little to no avenues out - stay out of this role if you can - compensation - mass layoffs in multiple divisions of the company in 2025

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.
