Pros

They offer 3 weeks of vacation along with travel perks. Training is more then adequate with a sense of accomplishment after the initial six weeks.

Cons

Management is completely unfair and not concerned about floor agents. Advancement is prejudiced and unless chosen by management to climb up the ladder you will remain entry level.

Pros

Relaxed dress code. The company hires from within first. Good benefits. They do make an attempt to work with you to get time off.

Cons

Freeze on yearly raises. Job gets repetitive at times. Hard to kill the "down time" in between calls, since you you're not allowed to really search the internet or have electronic equipment. Shift bids, so your schedule can change pretty drastically. A lot of micro-managing from supervisors.

Pros

The executive leadership was quite passionate and engaged. You will learn a lot if you apply yourself. You will learn what to do and what not to do by observing behaviors. Many people wereThe work environment is casual. Customer satisfaction was the theme and the training, marketing, advertising, quality assurance and metrics supported the strategy. There was a lot of communication from certain members of management and In employee surveys on an annual basis. In employee engagement, Travelocity scored best in class in several departments.

Cons

Very long hours. Too many conference calls. Too much change and not enough communication to make people feel confident or buy in to the changes, especially in strategy. Too much group think and not very nimble in terms of making timely decisions that affect personnel, customers and the business in general. In company -wide employee surveys, only 32% of management felt comfortable taking risks. Human Resources had too much say and became a barrier and not thought of as very helpful. It took a long time to get things done. Every website enhancement /implenentation or change that was done there was usually flawed and never on time.Too much change in direction in terms of leadership - six Senior VP changes in seven years in one division, three different CEOs. Major layoffs almost every year, and because of it very stressful from October through December.
