Mixed bag

Product Manager (Current Employee)
Luton, East of England, England (UK)

I have been working at TUI Travel full-time for more than 3 years

ProsGreat people, fun environment, outstanding travel benefits. Pay pretty good for travel industry and the brand is prestigious in the industry.

ConsLack of progression opportunities, particularly in between departments. Luton location rather sterile but they do their best to keep staff entertained despite being away from bright lights of London.

Advice to Senior ManagementInvest in people with dedicated training programmes and don't be short sighted and assume people want to stay in the same department for all their career

I worked at TUI Travel full-time for more than 8 years

ProsGreat opportunities, good management overall, take advantage of all opportunities to improve the company. Good human resources department and progression plans.

ConsDifficult to get a good work life balance due to the demands of the company and they do not seem to have the employees near the top of their priorities

The World of TUI is a great place to work and to get recognized for individual contributions.

ProgramDirector (Former Employee)
Crawley, Hampshire, South East England, England (UK)

I worked at TUI Travel as a contractor for more than 3 years

Pros- Entrepreneurial organization with decentralized leadership;
- Senior management is professional, passionate, goal- and team oriented;
- Casual and informal work environment;
- TUI's strategy proves to hold up well whereas its competitors are struggling during the current economic crises.

ConsThere are no cons that I can think of, although I can imagine that not all TUI countries / 250 brands are created equal. I can say the having worked for TUI Group at the HQ in the UK was a great experience.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Specialist Holidays Group, part of TUI Travel - Great career development opportunity but soul destroying in many ways.

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)
London, England (UK)

I have been working at TUI Travel full-time for more than 3 years

ProsHave been able to advance quickly in the company mainly due to constant mergers, restructures and 'synergy /streamlining'.

ConsA boys club. And you have to be darn good to get anywhere with out being invited into the club.

Advice to Senior ManagementTry keeping the great, experienced and driven people that make a difference and drive the company forward as opposed to the people that can talk the talk but do nothing of value.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
