Former Employee – worked at TUI Travel as a contractor for more than 3 years

Pros – - Entrepreneurial organization with decentralized leadership;
- Senior management is professional, passionate, goal- and team oriented;
- Casual and informal work environment;
- TUI's strategy proves to hold up well whereas its competitors are struggling during the current economic crises.

Cons – There are no cons that I can think of, although I can imagine that not all TUI countries / 250 brands are created equal. I can say the having worked for TUI Group at the HQ in the UK was a great experience.

Former Employee – worked at TUI Travel

Pros – Can live in different places under the sun! After company's long experience there's a wide knowledge how things are working in those kind of tourist places where the system in general doesn't work always so fluently.
f.ex. good living conditions, might be a shared car, always some backup.

Cons – In some resorts and season there should be way more reasonable working times, still the same salary. Sometimes too business-minded. A big variety of bosses in the resorts. That type of work isn't under normal working rules.
