Pros

None- Do not take a job with this company unless you are really hurting for one

Cons

Managers yell at you, sexually harass you, belittle you, and corporate just turns the other cheek when current employees complain. Strong sales oriented admissions department students are viewed as numbers and nothing more. This school is getting rich off teens parents and as admissions reps we are trained with horrible sales tactics. They sell our programs to students by showing the school as a tourist attraction and promise to parents that they will learn English. Something that it is not true, no one is able to learn English in a place that it just to have fun and no academic goals.

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.
