Pros

Great Travelzoo AU Sydney team including current SEA Country Manager. South East Asia Country Manager based in the Sydney office was/is a fantastic boss and leader also extremely hardworking. Younger Production staff seem to be more willing to coloborate and work together with Sales Managers with a real focus on working as a team. All departments including Finance, accounts and Marketing are happy to answer questions and discuss new options and ideas either direct or in the weekly company meetings. Salary incl base wage and Coms is great for this industry, but you do need to work hard to see the return, if you are new to the business and in Sales don't expect to make coms until about 6 months in. Travelzoo AU co-workers, International Tzoo offices, AU Managment, Senior Managment comany wide and even the Travelzoo CEO are all very approachable and easy enough to communicate with, I guess just remember how busy they all are and also - if you don't ask you don't get. (they can't read your mind - if you have a question or concern then ASK) “What you lack in talent can be made up with desire, hustle and giving 110% all the time.”

Cons

I believe there is still so much more potential for Travelzoo AU (especially LD's) and lots of revenue to still be made if done correctly, stratigecally (more social focus Marketing incl SEO) with the right skill set and open frame of mind.

Pros

-The Top 20 is well done and the deals are real. —Their priority is a good user experience. -We had talented and bright people who went on to find good jobs with other major companies. -Their owners are German brothers with exquisite taste. Internal company events are top notch, bougie and well done.

Cons

-They started hiring sales reps at half the base pay of what older reps made. While the compensation was fair when I was there, I would not work there now as the base is low. -Overall revenue growth has been stagnant for many years. -They do not innovate and their main product email blasts are old marketing tech. They do one thing (The Top 20) very well and that is it. If you are a person who needs to grow and learn new things and innovate in your career, this is not the place for you. When times got tough, they cut products instead of expanding giving more limited sales opportunities. -Their 401k match was very little only a flat $1,500/year. -Small company so limited growth opportunities. -Like many companies, while they hired all ethnicities, senior management were all white so while they touted diversity and women in leadership, I did not consider them a true diverse company as this was a blind spot for them as it is with many companies in America.
