Pros

Luxury product, people that work there, learning new skills and product. Learning about Caribbean as a destination and liaising with travel agents.

Cons

Bad management, if your not a favourite you will get no where! No motivation or benefits for staff at all. Sales department are preferred over anybody else.

Pros

Worked at Caribtours for over 10 years and (mostly) loved every minute of it. Brilliant, passionate, knowledgeable team; great location in South West London and some standout perks. You always felt like an individual with a stake in the success of the company. Despite being small, Caribtours has a real ambition to innovate and you always felt motivated to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in and try new things. In my role no two days were ever the same and I got a level of responsibility that would have been impossible in a larger company. MD is not made from the usual corporate mould and is a true individual. He expects a lot from his staff and has very high standards, but his enthusiasm is infectious and the rewards are there for those willing to buy into his vision.

Cons

Small company equals small budgets and sometimes these didn't match the ambitions of the management team (although it was also a spur to look at problems in a different way). It also limited the amount of money available from staff development. The relatively flat structure, whilst efficient, limits the potential for advancement within the organisation. Whilst the location is lovely, my commute became untenable and was one of my main reasons for leaving.

Pros

It was brilliant to work with a fun team who worked hard and played hard. We even got a weekend in Barbados as a well done! Caribtours grew significantly during my 6 years there and I loved the new offices we moved to and the perks that came with being a growing company.

Cons

Travel is a hard industry to work in as it is so competitive and you are also at the mercy of world events.
