Pros

Ambiente di lavoro molto giovanile, si fa amicizia con i (pochi) colleghi simpatici con cui ci si riesce a vedere fuori da lavoro.

Cons

- Ambiente di lavoro tra i più tossici che abbia mai frequentato, un livello elevatissimo di passivo aggressività da parte dei capi e tra colleghi stessi. (un micro management pazzesco) - Ci sono ritmi di vendita irrealistici e ti ritrovi a fine giornata prosciugato dal tuo lavoro di call center. - I capi da Milano non fanno altro che incentivare la competitività tra colleghi e ad osannare chi riesce a vendere più degli altri. Senza contare che i clienti "buoni" arrivano solo a loro, mentre da Roma in giù solo quelli non interessati. - i colleghi si "rubano" a vicenda i clienti per accaparrarsi più vendite e omettono dettagli importanti ai genitori di ragazzini minorenni, pur di fargli acquistare un pacchetto di vacanza studio - Team leader e colleghi che si sparlano tra loro su Teams e non hanno nemmeno il coraggio di dirti le cose in faccia E mi sono anche contenut* Dopo qualche mese sono scappat*, fidatevi, non ne vale la pena, sono degli squali.

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.
