Great Learning Experience - Receptionist ShoreTrips Employee Review

When you are passionate about travel and get paid to market travel it equals dream job. This is a small, family owned company which means non of the read tape of a large company. Travel perks are a part of the job. The owners are the most generous people I have ever worked for.

No health care benefits or 401 k.

ShoreTrips was my first "real" job after college. When I left the company after about three years of working in a very busy environment, I thanked both owners for their guidance and providing me the opportunity to work for them. I learned so much about what makes a business "tick" and, even more, what motivated me to work hard for the owners --who I found both to be flexible, appreciative, and people who went way out of their way to meet everyone's individual needs. It was a stimulating environment. These were very clever and astute business people and I learned a lot from them.

I was surprised to read a previous reviewer's comments (and my time at ShoreTrips probably overlapped theirs) because, though we really had extremely busy times, I never experienced the issues mentioned. When you have a small office there are always going to be a variety of personalities with different levels of experience and, just like anywhere, some people will disagree or compete --but I never experienced any of that with anyone or even saw much of that happening in the years I was employed there. I found the owners to be thoughtful, smart, and having great senses of humor!
