Pros

Some* colleagues. I still keep in contact with have become lifelong friends.

Cons

- low pay - attitude towards staff is rude if management don’t like you (saw it happen to others) - if they don’t like you they will find an excuse to put you on performance development. I had people in my team that had not been meeting target but never went on performance development but I did. Work that one out? - low key bullying - treated like you’re not a person but totally disposable - not “reasonable” additional hours I stayed back on a few occasions to get work done as they want you to be thorough. Talking about 11pm and also you’re expected to go to product nights and socials - they tip toe around addressing issues and if you raise any you are treated differently. - The highest you can go in Australia is a team manager, RSM or trainor unless you are in Melbourne. So no real opportunity for career progression - overseas team which make communication harder than it needs to be - “Perk” not worth it at all. I earn a higher salary now and can afford to travel more than at STA Travel even with the commission schemes.

Pros

Great company, loved it. Coworker were great.

Cons

Salary was dependent on sales. And certain things earned you more money. So if you weren't great at selling those things you wouldn't make as much money
