The company has lost its focus.
Pros
none. Benefits are adequate, but no longer as good as they once were
Cons
They took a reasonably good company to work for and destroyed it. We don't have the tools to do our jobs. We have technology that falls over and slows our ability to get the 600-second OCL they want. They flex our hours down until this isn't a full time job. We are forced to bid our vacation a year out, but with the flex, you don't earn as many hours as your planned, and then you end up giving back vacation days. There is no depth on the service floor, so if you need a day off, or get invited to an out of town event, or even have to deal with family issues, you cannot get time off approved and you end up with occurrences....and then they penalize you for trying to play by their rules. Upper management is so clueless about what we do, a bunch of efficiency experts who didn't even know what a GDS is (and thought we had to call all hotels and airlines to get a confirmed reservation) was sent in to tell us how to do our jobs. They didn't even know what are jobs do. Our clients are angry. They feel rushed when talking to us about really complicated travel. And there are now off-shore counselors who don't even speak English well enough to understand what they are being told.
