Pros

* drink cart once a week where company will provide a beverage * got to go to mexico for a few days on a company retreat * office is located right downtown near skytrain for easy commute * younger staff for the most part

Cons

* high turnover since staff is overworked, underappreciated and given unrealistic goals. (They tell new applicants that they are growing but most employees last maybe a year or max 2) * employees are held to different standards depending which manager and department you work for. Some get to "work" from home and not show up for weeks while other employees are working 60+ hour work weeks to pick up slack. In sales no matter how hard to you try or how much you work, * if you don't hit your goals your written up but not given any help or training to improve. * no room for promotions so everyone just stays in their role till they get bored or cant take it anymore and work elsewhere * so many senior managers that nothing ever gets done and workers voices don't matter * perks are given to those that "network" with the right people in the office * claim to have strong values but end of the day all they care about is making as much money as they can. I feel guilty about how much we rip off customers * no overtime or appreciation if you stay overtime * Inconsistent from manager to manager. Endless sick days, holiday, and options to work at home for weeks at a time depends who you work for

Pros

People. Those that we worked with and clients that we worked for. Travel perks were good once upon a time. Their company events were sometimes on point. The company potential is still amazing.

Cons

Management are clueless to the travel industry and the original company values. Though the industry is in trying times, the decisions being made are far from good morals or a successful future in tourism. Its challenging to get decisions made, to have logistics understood, to have our voices with experience heard, to listen to the eccentric owner that doesn't know boundaries, to actually earn an industry equivelant wage or grow into roles that we spoke with our managers about (they have a track record for hiring less experienced people they already know of). Many cons at this point.

Thank you, we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and concerns. It is good to hear you enjoyed working with your colleagues and the clients. We know how hard all our Fresh Trackers are working during these different travel times. We look forward to a time where tourism bounces back from the impact of COVID.

Pros

A willingness to make financial investments into the growth of the company whether that be IT, an increase in employees or positions (this done not include incentives, wages, benefits or bonus schemes).

Cons

If you're not a sales person or part of the inner circle (of people who have been with the company since it was less than 20 people), don't expect much in the way of appreciation. The owner is very easily manipulated by his business partner and outside influences. Management did not know how to handle/mediate/resolve internal conflict and often times they would buy out an employee (fire them with a small severance package with undo cause) rather than commit to a proper investigation. It was an extremely gossipy environment with much backstabbing and immature behavior primarily nurtured by the female employees. Often times the Guest Experience Manager at the time would send out blanket emails to all staff, chastising a particular behavior or practice but would never confront the actual individual responsible. This created an atmosphere of paranoia and fear as no one knew if they were the person in the cross-hairs. Prior to my employment i was warned by others as they joked about seeing how long i'd last as the owner blows hot and cold, which during my last, recent pulse check of the company, has not changed.
