Vantaggi

Coworkers were the best part. Vendor visits were fun.

Svantaggi

3 rounds of layoffs (so far) within the past year. US employees seem to be laid off in favor of moving jobs to multiple places off shore. However every two months we get notice of new executives being hired. Obvious that knowledge and previous loyalty to company has no value. Very little support to travel agents on the front line. Extremely busy and goals are not reasonable. However people are laid off? Then the front line is blamed for not meeting service levels. Upper management does not seem to understand what agents need to do to service our clients. Didn't seem to be any planning to address service level situation as it was. Advised there is technology coming to help efficiencies but technology should be present and service stabilized before laying people off. Way too much pressure on agents and no support. At the agent level seems like the only focus is on the negative. Positive reinforcement was extremely lacking.

Vantaggi

Solid salary and benefits, recognition and opportunity for growth across job function and/or upward. Cross-team interactions and collaborations are open and approachable.

Svantaggi

Senior leadership over the last 10 years has eroded the culture and viability. Current mid-management leaders are relatively new to roles and lack mentoring, training or clarity of direction.

Vantaggi

Working remotely, great working environment.

Svantaggi

Navigating two separate layoffs both before and after an acquisition is challenging for anyone, especially when your future is unclear. Being laid off in 2024 rehired in 2025 and then released again after being assured my role was secure only added to that uncertainty. I fully understood the risks of returning to CWT during such a transitional period, but the experience highlighted how crucial clear communication and consistent leadership are during an acquisition. This was not about the work or the people both of which were positive but rather about how the transition from CWT to Amex GBT was managed. My hope is that sharing this helps future employees understand the environment and encourages stronger communication during periods of change.
