Pros

A lot of positive aspects and people. sometimes good meals and of course different events.

Cons

Payment and benefits seems to make sense for the company and each year the promise after the survey to provide better salary... at the end its nothing more than just empty messages and benefits which no one has required. Still poor salary and no difference at the end if you are a great agent or just doing your job. The percentage in the bonus is so small that you have not really more in your pocket, even you had much better results as your colleagues. The way of company "We want to satisfy everyone" is wrong in my opinion. A lot of people who doing nothing or bad job because nothing there has any consequence. Quality not important enough due the fast growing of the company. Its impossible to get holidays in the company, seems to be always "high season".

Pros

The people are fun, the salary is okay when you include all the extras (evenings, weekends and bonus), fantastic end of year party in Amsterdam, free lunch, due to the majority of staff being young it has a fantastic social side.

Cons

Despite constantly stating that there are lots of progression opportunities, this is not true in the Cambridge office. In other offices across Europe it does appear to be true, however the Customer Service Managers in Cambridge have their favourites, if you are not one of them you do not have a chance of progression. Recruitment strategy is confusing, they seem to only want 'Yes' people, people with opinions or questions are held back and chastised until they conform and toe the line. Cambridge office is run very much like a dictatorship, rules that exist here do exist in other offices. The CSM's do not lead by example, they never work evenings, one of them never works at weekends (despite the fact we are ALL supposed to work a minimum of 2), they NEVER work bank holidays, everyone else is FORCED to do a minimum amount. It is clear that higher management have no idea how low the morale of staff is in Cambridge though, when a visit is expected suddenly the managers become 'Booking Blue' as soon as the higher managers leave the management revert back to their usual selves. If 2 of the 3 CSM's were to leave this would be an even better place to work!

Pros

Good pay, growth, people and location. Also an environment where you can make an impact that is not heirachical. Part of a The Priceline Group, a massive and very successful online travel business.

Cons

Processes could be improved upon but this is getting better all the time as the company progresses and becomes more mature.
