Vantaggi

Staff are friendly and fun. Very flexible and free environment. Diverse staff, able to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures.

Svantaggi

Salary is low comparing to same positions elsewhere. High turnover rate, don't know how to appreciate staff, aside from the free drinks once in a while. Poor communication. Sometimes duplicate work is done or tasks need to be done last minute due to miscommunication or no communication between departments at all. Very secretive, sometimes your manager is hiring someone new to your team and he/she won't even let the team know until that new person shows up. No proper HR, no improvements after annual reviews, therefore problems for certain staff exists and won't go away. Managers friends with underlings, this isn't a problem but can be done more professionally.

Vantaggi

Good training, good communication especially for a remote position, flexible, great management

Svantaggi

Scheduling and staffing effectively could be challenging due to unpredictable nature of emergency response, which caused both understaffed shifts and overstaffed shifts. In addition, phone-based customer service can be emotionally challenging - customers in stressful situations can often be difficult to deal with.

Hearing that the training, communication, and management stood out, especially in a remote setting, is really meaningful. Thank you for sharing! As you mentioned, the nature of emergency response is inherently unpredictable. Our phone-based support in high stress situations can be central to defining the experience for travelers, and the people who handle it are a big part of that. We’re proud of the team you were part of and hope the skills you built here continue to serve you well.

Vantaggi

You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

Svantaggi

Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
