Pros

The coworkers are great. Good Travel perks

Cons

Management is lazy Losing a lot of the perks Tripadvisor was an awesome company when I first started. The people are awesome, the job was cool, free lunch, beer, dogs in the office. On site Gym. Quotas were always big, hardly attainable. But the other perks made up for it. Once covid hit, travel was impacted more than most. Tripadvisor decided to cap the sales team's commission at 30 and 40%. This has been going on for 9 months now. On top of capping commissions at 1/3 of what they should be, they raised quota by 1200%(that's not a typo). The company breed's managers to sit back and do nothing while reaping all the benefits from the reps being overworked. It is nearly impossible to get a manager to actually help you when you need it. With everyone working from home, the cool perks are all gone. No more gym, lunch, after work drinks with coworkers, and they won't be coming back when we do return to the office. My peers are great. If it weren't for them I probable would have left sooner. This is (or was) a pretty good start for someone brand new to sales. This is not an ideal place for a seasoned AE.

Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience working at Tripadvisor. As you know, one of our core values is that we are always learning and to that end we welcome your feedback. We agree with your point about how incredible the people on the team are. From the front line reps who work tirelessly to help our customers to the leadership supporting and enabling their success, I am proud and grateful for the exceptionally hard work that the team has put in throughout the pandemic. They’re not only supporting our travel partners, but our teammates and the Tripadvisor mission as well. They inspire me daily. As you noted, COVID-19 has been massively destructive to the travel industry and unfortunately the number of new cases are at all time highs. As you state, Sales incentives were reduced during this period but so too were targets as the business understands there have been a reduced number of customers to sell to. The company has in fact paid sales reps for non-selling activities for much of the time during the pandemic. Fortunately many of our teammates have been able to adapt to the new environment and are exceeding their targets and Tripadvisor has launched new products and offerings that will help our partners weather the pandemic and get on the path to recovery. Travel will resume, and when it does there will be pent up demand and our partners and our team will thrive. We all look forward to effective vaccines and the opportunity to travel again. And when that happens I’m sure we’ll be back in the office, enjoying many of the perks and camaraderie that we all miss. Thank you again for your feedback, your contribution to Tripadvisor and best of luck in your career. Gradie

Flexible schedule, great travel benefits

Cons

Management seems to only want what is best for them when making decisions, not the people who work for them.
