Pros

Direct Travel will take care of you, has a 401k plan, decent health benefits. Plenty of opportunity in a company grossing close to a billion a year.

Cons

If you're looking for a promotion, this is not the place to do it. Also, people in the travel business for 30+ years have a tough time with changing technology, and do not accept there might be a better way of doing things. Weekend work with no overtime is regularly expected if you're on the tech side.
