Pros

The quick growth combined with the global presence makes Englishtown a very stimulating working environment. With a background in web development I also find the product to be very interesting, as it spans over so many different areas. I've been with the company for ten years, and many others stay very long with the company. Working in a global environment means that I stay in touch with people from around the world, both via emails and Skype and through travels.

Cons

A quickly growing company has growing pains, mostly in the form of processes that sometimes cannot keep up. I don't think it is a big problem, and I know that it happens in every company that changes quickly.

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.
