Pros

Free food, pet friendly, nice coworkers and some very lovely customers. When the app works one day, it can possibly be a game changer.

Cons

Leadership from the Top down needs to be changed. The culture is so toxic. Zero internal transparency. No raise in 3 years. Favoritism rampant. Sad to see so many wonderful people impacted and let go with no notice.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and I’m sorry to hear that this has been your experience. The impact of COVID-19 on the travel industry was very swift, and having to reduce our workforce was not a decision that was made lightly, but was necessary in order to ensure long-term viability of the business. We acknowledge there is always opportunity to improve workplace culture. Your feedback, and the feedback from others on the team is an integral part of making that happen. In an effort to understand more and take the steps necessary to making those improvements, I would encourage you to reach out directly to leaders within support, your People Success Business Partner, or to me directly so that we understand your perspective and how we can improve.

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
