Pros

Great for out of college

Cons

Leadership here is all about cronyism. They put unqualified people in charge, and the few who actually know what they’re doing get pushed out over so-called “differences.” Don’t expect to grow your career here.

Pros

Good training, good communication especially for a remote position, flexible, great management

Cons

Scheduling and staffing effectively could be challenging due to unpredictable nature of emergency response, which caused both understaffed shifts and overstaffed shifts. In addition, phone-based customer service can be emotionally challenging - customers in stressful situations can often be difficult to deal with.

Hearing that the training, communication, and management stood out, especially in a remote setting, is really meaningful. Thank you for sharing! As you mentioned, the nature of emergency response is inherently unpredictable. Our phone-based support in high stress situations can be central to defining the experience for travelers, and the people who handle it are a big part of that. We’re proud of the team you were part of and hope the skills you built here continue to serve you well.

Pros

CULTURE People Travel Mission and Vision teamwork

Cons

privately owned company means no path to equity. favoritism is rampant. Not enough focus on diversifying teams, Swedish culture is still very strong despite almost 60 years of growth
