Pros

My first year at Orbitz was great. Loved the environment, learned about the travel industry, and worked with wonderful people. Also, this is the time HR asks you to comment on glassdoor.com, when you are fresh and everything seems perfect. Very smart.

Cons

After my first year, I learned the truth about Orbitz. Not much potential for growth. Investment in training and learning does not exist. I asked many times about going to training seminars, but was turned down because of "budget" reasons. Upper management is absolutely horrible, no backbone at all. After I left the company, I realized how much I did not learn at Orbitz. I felt I had gone backwards instead of forwards in my industry. Also, after I left the company, I found out I was blocked from an internal opportunity by upper management. And I was lied to about the reason why I didn't get the job. Makes me sick. HR is clueless. My exist interview was a joke.

Sorry to hear you did not personally witness much potential for growth during your time at the company, but Orbitz is committed to promoting individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the business. For example, over the last six months alone over 100 people were promoted, and we will continue providing our employees with opportunities for growth at all levels of the organization.
