Pros

- A very interesting business with a rich experience and many passionate people. - Building a winning business is a challenge, given that tours are a struggling model - but an interesting one. - plenty of opportunities to really positively impact the business, if you can get the change through, as still much that is archaic. - some very nice people to work with

Cons

- The company's biggest issue is the lack of a coherent culture. As one of the Tollman businesses, it is run top down and secretive and this leads to a very siloed business - by function and region. - CEO can be visionary, adaptable and charismatic. At the same time, likes a 'yes' man/woman, is autocratic, does not take responsibility for his own mistakes and is extraordinarily prone to changing his mind. - Alarming serial bullying that has been/is taking place in the HQ office. - Awful IT systems and IT department centralised as part of the Travel Corporation makes technology a serious challenge to doing business.

Pros

I made some good friendships (all who have quit)

Cons

-Lack of respect for employees under Management -Lack of management skills all together -Petty work environment -They don't give raises, just "promotional raises" that are ultimately "cost of living raises" that's basically potato money -No career growth or work-life balance (even though it's encouraged)
