Pros

5 days a week 8 hr. Health care, Expedia Extras, basically to off set the low hourly. Gym reimbursement, silly celebrations of calendar days, like national hot dog day. The cruise department get perks from the industry , not air team. Looking to just get back on your feet for 6 months or a year this is the place. Paid training. The company makes so much money, you'll always have a job if you can survive unraveling destroyed travel itineraries using GDS. Sups are helpful and fair.

Cons

Prepare yourself for training class. 6 weeks paid, thank goodness. 15 programs to learn. Training class spends more time on non-sense about customer service (which many hired already have years of experience) rather than the actual difficulty of the Sabre and Amadeus complex PNR issues and how to fix it. I left an airline and air GDS can take years to master. No call center experience.... tough it out bro. Expectations change each week, it'll make your head spin and slow you down. After a year or more you'll be good. Take advice only from the leads. They are good but overwhelmed. Above all....It's a job, people! Its a call center with air conditioning, you aint digging ditches.

Pros

Good pay, supportive manager, and genuinely pleasant colleagues.

Cons

Frequent reorgs and shifting strategic direction made it difficult to build momentum or plan long‑term. Over time, contractor roles became increasingly narrow and production‑focused, which limited opportunities for meaningful skill development. Responsibilities that originally included project management were reduced to primarily email production work. There’s also a broader corporate pattern where work is expected to be completed exactly as written, with little room for judgment or improvement. Even small, quick optimizations can lead to pushback rather than appreciation, creating an environment where going “above and beyond” requires multiple layers of approval — which defeats the purpose of being proactive in the first place. Finally, there’s an in‑office expectation (less strict than for full‑time employees, but still present) for work that can be done entirely remotely. This tends to benefit highly social personalities, but for those who prefer focused, independent work, it feels unnecessary. Social dynamics also play a noticeable role; if you’re not immediately well‑liked or you make a single early mistake, it can create a self‑fulfilling perception that’s difficult to overcome.
