Pros

Relatively flexible working hours and the opportunity to work in an exotic country.

Cons

1. Dreadful management. 2. Very poor pay. 3. Unfair pay scale - students score the teachers after each lesson. Students will often give low scores due to a bad internet connection and this will lower the amount you are paid. 4. Very poor lesson material. 5. No chance to progress within the company.

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.
