- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★

- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good place to grow, but mostly because you do things out of your pay grade Lots of fun Free trip Flexible on working hours
Cons
Extremely disorganized Leadership seems lost Used to be innovative, now just stuck in ways pretending to be relevant
Continue reading - Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
The people: these are some of the most amazing people I've worked with - I felt included from day 1 Benefits: I don't know where they're at now, but they had a really great benefits package (and incredible parental leave by comparison to most of Canada) Talent team: when the ship was going down because of COVID, the talent and HR team did the best they could to ease the anxiety Values: Not just internally, but on their trips. The effort to make a positive impact through travel can't be contested.
Cons
It's travel and we saw a pandemic -- the cons come from an unprecedented time where decisions had to be made to save the business and continue to support locals in their destinations. While it wasn't great at the time, looking back on the need to cost save was valid -- what we thought was 2 weeks, or 2 months turned into 2 years.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed some of the travel benefits that come along with working for a travel company. Unfortunately, due to the impact of COVID on the travel industry, we are continuing to experience some resource restrictions as we wait for travel to fully recover. That being said we are seeing strong demand from our customers, and we believe it's only a matter of time before the industry is booming again. We thank you for your feedback and years of service, and wish you well.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed travel perks and the training provided. We do invest significantly in our culture which includes providing many opportunities for our employees to connect with each other through a variety of events and engagement initiatives. Although connection is important, we also strongly believe in creating a sense of belonging for all of our staff, and if social cliques have developed in your department, this is certainly an unintended and discouraged consequence. In order to further our efforts in this area, we have recently put together a diversity and inclusion committee which will be executing on our diversity and inclusion mission and strategy. In regards to your feedback on compensation, we regularly review market benchmarking data to ensure we are paying our employees at a fair level in both the travel and vertical industries. We will continue to do so to ensure we remain equitable within the market. We thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you well in your future endeavours.
