      Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective from our Zurich office. We’re glad you’ve enjoyed the team and environment, but are sorry to hear that other parts of your time here have been so difficult recently. What you describe around promotion opportunities and internal communication is not reflective of the environment we recognize in the office. We have shared this with leadership, but also encourage you to speak directly with your manager or your local People and Culture team so they can better understand your experience and support you in addressing everything you have brought up.

      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.
