Pros

Really laid back atmosphere. You can chew tobacco and work on the phones. Wear what you want to. Go out and smoke when you want to. Okay for people who are in school and plan on leaving in a year or so.

Cons

ou get paid $0 for all of your sales if you are not within the 4% average for the center for days or nights, whichever shift you work. Base pay is a mere $9 per hour. You get calls from people who don't know you are Hotels.com. They hang up after they find out who you are much of the time. Company tends to put all the fault on the employees instead of making the pay grid better and easier to attain commission. No matter what the issue is, the company blames the employee and says the employee can do better. Many get fired for not meeting their goals which are made higher by people who cheat in the first place. Basically no feedback on performance and hardly any team meetings. No where to go here, dead end job. Building filthy, bathrooms cleaned once a week. System very slow , lots of errors. Lot of chiefs, people who think they run the place. Two people who manage the center are clueless.

Pros

Constant state of transformation is ripe environment for new hires and functional experts from big name tech companies

Cons

Pre-covid the culture was really special. Collaborative, engaging, people-centric, with a unifying mission to enable travel for the world. Since covid there has been a revolving door of executive leadership, and with each round, they throw out the current strategy to try something "new" without building from the current or past successes. Constant change, but no clear vision or strategy of what they are trying to change to. Lack of strategy and low risk tolerance leads to too many priorities with not enough investment to move the needle in anything. Quarterly layoffs, but executed quietly team by team so as not to make news. No psychological safety. Talent strategy since covid is to hire externally over internal promotions to gain "functional expertise" therefore difficult to grow your career. Siloed divisions not working towards common goal. Lacks operating model maturity needed for a company of this size likely do to revolving door of execs and priorities. A cash cow company with an identity crisis trying to be an AI innovator. Build vs buy mentality slows them down. Too many exec pet projects that aren't vetted with proper business cases.
