Vantaggi

I think the office managers are good at heart, but caught up in something bigger than themselves and don't know how to disentangle from this unscrupulous mess of a CEO and company.

Svantaggi

This business has marketed itself as being supportive and progressive in a socially and environmentally conscious company. Please be advised that it is none of those things. I drained my savings to move across the country for this company, only to be callously fired weeks later along with another coworker who had also undergone a huge move. No warnings, no reason provided. It was literally weeks of positive praise and crocodile smiles, followed by a blindside firing leaving me ineligible for unemployment and without healthcare. There is no HR department. No training outside of makeshift videos of people working along with sitting at current employees desks while they frantically try to manage their own workloads. It's hard to express the level of deceit and disregard exhibited by the staff and CEO. This is my biggest grievance with the company, the dishonesty in the hiring, throughout my tenure and in the firing process. If you choose to walk into this lion's den, be prepared for covert performance reviews conducted by outside corporate consultants, silent, terrified coworkers and no dialogue about the job or your performance. After my exit from the company, half of the office was calling my phone to disclose the revolving door of employees and how they're planning their own exit from this unstable environment. There are tons of wonderful, supportive, socially and environmentally friendly companies out there! This is not one of them. Do yourself a favor and take your time, positive attitude and talent elsewhere!

Hello, We rely and appreciate the feedback from our travelers We want to hear what goes well and where improvements can be made. It is the same for receiving feedback from former and current employees. There is always an element of risk when hiring new staff and amplified when someone needs to relocate to a new city. Our intentions are to add to our talented team. In this situation, we chose to terminate your employment, and this was not a whimsical decision taken lightly but a hard decision that we chose for our organization. We are sorry for the stress and hardship this caused you. Jonathan Brunger General Manager

Vantaggi

I have see Adventure Life go through many changes throughout my time here, and our most recent change to a fully-remote office has definitely been the biggest and hardest adjustment. Adventure Life was well-prepared for this transition and it went rather seamlessly when it was sprung upon us. Everyone was able to move their work station home and stay safe while continuing to work for our customers. It has been great to work with such an amazing team of dedicated employees to bring the company through the pandemic and into the next phase of this company, stronger and more prepared than ever. I've appreciated all the flexibility and accommodation management has provided as everyone has had to adjust to a new normal working from home. Staff has been encouraged to take breaks, get outside or get exercise when they need it. We have managed to keep as much of the friendly atmosphere as we can considering all is done over the computer or phone. Even though I can't see them regularly in person, I still love my conversations with my coworkers and appreciate the calls with them. Video chat really does make a difference!

Svantaggi

Working from home has its challenges, and is not for everyone. I have appreciated the added time with my family, but often feel I am always sort of working as I can't easily just walk away from my home office. You have to be self-driven to work remotely, and we are all very busy so it would be easy to get behind if you don't put in your hours.
