Pros

Autonomy to decide how to plan your work and how you do your work. Agile meaning you can see all work in the company is transparent. Flexible working, meaning you can decide when you start and finish the day, move your day around to go for a run as long as you make the hours back and deliver the work when needed. Self-organization, meaning inclusion in all company decisions and daily opportunities to change the way you work or the company works. Fun culture, meaning an emphasis to enjoy where you work, including team days out and a relaxed office atmosphere. Ethos on learning and professional development with a chance to drive your own career. A motivating annual team profit share, after which 100% of the remaining profit goes to two educational charities.

Cons

With company growth a constant priority, there are constant changes to how the company operates, pretty much on a monthly basis, it can at times be discombobulating. If you don't want to reflect on yourself, want to learn to professionally develop, or want to self-manage your work. This may not be the company for you. As it is a small and growing company the salaries are likely a bit below industry rates, this is made up by the other benefits of working for the company.

Pros

Lots of support from colleagues and the clients are very interesting

Cons

Boss wants you to be a avid, woke travel loving worker and being a person who just wants to stay at home with my cat is not considered noteworthy. You start to get singled out for this even though you perform. Boss also lied about bonuses. I was promised that a performance based bonus would be on the cards at the end of the year. 2 months in was told that only those with 2 years in the firm could get bonuses.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of working at SEO Travel on Glassdoor. We always welcome feedback and strive to improve our team members' experience here. We’re really glad to hear that you felt well-supported and found the work interesting—that’s something we work hard to foster. At the same time, we’re sorry that certain aspects of your experience didn’t meet your expectations. As a specialist travel marketing company, we do tend to hire people who have a strong interest in travel, as we’ve found this leads to the best outcomes for our clients. That being said, we appreciate that different people bring different strengths to the team. Regarding the team bonus, we regret any misunderstanding. All details about the bonus structure are outlined in our handbook, and any changes are transparently discussed and agreed upon by the whole team. Since its inception, the bonus has been based on the financial health of the business and has always been fully available to those who have been with us for at least a year. We wish we had known about any concerns at the time so we could have clarified them directly. While we understand that not everyone looks for a social element in their workplace, we do believe that fostering strong team connections leads to better collaboration, a more positive work environment, and improved well-being. That’s why we run quarterly team-building events, such as a company retreat, and a Christmas party, alongside optional office working incentives. This said we are committed to hybrid working. We truly appreciate your feedback and take it seriously as we continue to improve the team’s experience. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
