Pros

Loads of fun and I can't even consider working for another company. Been here for 11 years, probably the best salary in the travel industry and work with some cool like minded people. Don't think there is another company were you can be yourself too much and have so much ownership.

Cons

I suppose priveledges for what works for one person does not always alway to the next. Sometimes the hours can be grueling . Not for the faint hearted.

Pros

- Varied job role - learn new things every day which means you are always progressing in the role - Quick career progression if you want it - prove yourself at consultant level and opportunities will open up for you - Fun work atmosphere with lots of team nights out, training session, summer and winter balls and conferences which really keep you up to date with where the company is heading - amazing perks with discounted travel/fam trips but also within the company such as healthwise and moneywise to make sure you are happy at work and outside of work - feels nice to be part of someones special holiday and that they have come to you for help - lots of opportunities in the flight centre group - prove yourself at consultant level and you can move around within the company

Cons

People who are complaining about the atmosphere within this company are wrong - yes buzz nights are compulsory and we try and encourage people to bond outside of work but no-one is forced to drink or stay out late if they dont want to! From working in small unsociable companys before I would definitely recommend Flight Centre more! At the last conference they gave away 5 holidays including business class flights and tours in Australia! If this doesn't sound like you then don't apply! - The only cons could be if you dont think this is a sales role because it is and there is no denying that - however if you are good at your job you dont need to rip people off to earn your commission - It takes a while to get to a good level of consultancy but if you are committed and hard working you will get there
