Pros

Great Expeditions’s company with a storied history. They travel to some amazing destinations.

Cons

There is a lot of chaos right now with change of upper management and a lot of hiring in the C-Suite area. The company’s focus seems to be on growth but they are not supporting the staff needed to make that happen. There is a lot of burnout.
