Pros

Other than working from home there are no pros at all.

Cons

The pay is atrocious! $12 an hr base pay. They ask for so much from their teachers, yet they give so little (pennies). Please if you're reading this DO NOT APPLY WITH THIS COMPANY!! You'll regret it, trust me.

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.
