Pros

In the beginning everything is wonderful. They pride themselves in honoring their employees with monthly potlucks, good benefits, maternity leave, trip to Amsterdam, overtime, Travel benefits. You make friends from all over the world, Pto, decent pay, free fruit.

Cons

The work is very tedious and the micromanagement is overbearing. It is also very difficult to move up in the company since the promotions are not based on merits but companionship with other team leads/CSM. They would much rather hire someone new instead of giving the opportunity to internal candidates and I saw this many times during my time there. Management is not very transparent, in the Orlando office anyway. -Micromanagement at it’s finest -Unflexible with schedules- You have to wait for years to possibly change your shift and when you want to you have to reapply to the position again like if you’re new -Seniority mean nothing in this company - They say they want good workers and not showponys but none of that really matters as long as you are part of the managers “crew” -Difficult to get promoted -Inadequate management -Tedious work -Unreasonable KPI expectations- some things are out of your control and you are penalized for them anyways. - The website has so many problems and they rather put the blame on the hotels instead of taking responsability and fixing the issues. ( working here made me never want to book through a 3rd party site ever again)

Pros

Great teams. Emphasis on personal development. Lots of training opportunities. Quarterly get-togethers. Decent benefits. Fun working atmosphere.

Cons

Terrible pay without any explanation of who we’re benchmarked against. Very little flexibility in schedule. Some teams are allowed remote work, others are not. Once annual trip to Amsterdam now scrapped. Double standard with many policies. Favoritism. Inept project managers. Career opportunities lacking in certain departments. Some managers are great. Others love to micromanage.

Pros

Great if you have limited experience and want to build a resume. They have great benefits when it comes to learning and trainings so it’s great to gain good base when it comes to managerial, sales and communications skills.

Cons

I feel management is overall drained. There’s a strong feeling of not being valued among people. Lots of room for improvement regarding benefits. Great benefits if you are fresh out of college but average if you are 30+. Seniority and loyalty used to be valued but I don’t feel it is anymore. Lots of feedback is being given to leadership but I am not sure they understand or hear us as it is not acknowledged for the most part. They have a goal and I think they are willing to sacrifice a few good people and senior staff along the way. They invest in key roles and the rest is less important. Hence the feeling of not being valued for many.
