Pros

Working from home but this is something they give to tolerate the work load

Cons

The owners expect you to be working on evenings and weekends as well. Otherwise, you will fall way behind in your work. They have a high turnover rate for the operation position due to unrealistic workload and poor work/life balance. There's a reason they can't keep the operation position filled, and it’s because what they pay is not worth it at all! Low base salary and no commissions. Very disorganized senior management which means you can't believe everything that they say. And also they have no idea what they’re doing , changing procedures once a week to improve the operation of the company but they have no idea what they’re doing , they’re just “ testing new ways of doing things “. They work as a start up after 10 years in business. Not recommended at all ! They don’t take blame on anything and they act as a corporation when they’re not.

Pros

You'll get a project that's good for your resume.

Cons

They will actively try to push you out and force you to quit when the project is done. And then, take credit.

Messy, Disorganized but Passionate Work Environment

Pros

- It works as a family, if you're "in" the family - they will take care of you; if you are not, you suffer the risk of being fired for ANYTHING at any point

Cons

- Disorganized work environment where no one really knows what to do - Little to no leadership; if there is leadership it's led by two very different opinions - Management really needs to create a company culture and standard operating procedures - Company has been alive for 10 years and it still feels like you're working for a start up - Promised a commission structure with goals, later was changed to making percentage of the profit (average $50-100 per booking) - Bookings for a high-end travel company used to be meaty, now their meaningless and small bookings that take 72 hours to work on - Management will listen to employee suggestions but do nothing about it. The employee will think some action will be taken but do not be fooled, nothing changes - Expect to take your laptop home and work - management will want to approve everything but they do not approve until 6pm which makes you then work late hours to complete an inquiry - When you are trained, everything is in the management's hands and you get thrown to the deep end with no life vest; very autonomous work culture - Employee turnover is usually about 6 months or less; some people are smart and wait for commissions to come in, then leave - Opinions in product (hotels, restaurants, and experiences) are less than appreciated - if you have knowledge of travel/hospitality, don't expect to be heard by the Director of Product
