Pros

EF has an excellent benefits package and is filled with bright young enthusiastic staff - loads of people who are very interested in both travel and education can make it a great way to get some exposure to the world

Cons

Sales and marketing focused results in a lot of turn-over in those roles, and the culture is very heavily based around internal networking to be successful

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.
