Pros

working with the travel business is great. Learning about places I never even heard of before.

Cons

Promotions are given to their favorite person. If you don't fit in with their club, then don't bother applying for a job here. They pick and choose with will get promoted here. They will pass you up for someone with less experience than you. If you are a brown-noser, than you will go far in this company. I enjoyed my job in the beginning, now I have to force myself to come to work. It is heartbreaking when you apply for a position in the company, just to be passed up by one of their "buddies". Then, management doesn't even have the guts enough to explain the reason why you were not promoted up.

Pros

Good compensation and benefits. Flexible remote work setup. Work-life balance is possible.

Cons

The culture is highly political and lacks psychological safety. Favoritism and perception seem to matter more than performance. Collaboration suffers because people are more focused on protecting themselves and their headcount than supporting each other. Leadership is largely absent and disconnected from the actual work. Frequent layoffs have created an ongoing sense of instability. Entire teams lose key knowledge overnight, leaving others to figure things out with little to no documentation or support. Performance reviews can feel arbitrary and it's mostly gaslighting. If your priority is a steady paycheck (until it isnt), this may work for you. If you’re looking for mentorship, strong leadership, or a collaborative and forward-thinking environment, expectations should be managed.
