      Pros

      Flexible hours when classes are available. When I started there was no cap on hours and they paid a Christmas bonus. Now they only send you messages to tell you you're not getting paid for something.

      Cons

      It was getting tough to get hours. The only feedback I received for staff was from reports. The only feedback from students was usually a number. Students that didn't give a 1 or a 2 rarely let you know why they were unhappy. When you ask for help they tell you to listen to recordings. Classes never become available the same time each week and if you don't reserve them yourself you just get the scraps. And the students are mostly in classes beyond there level and are being passed by the high rated teachers.

      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.
