Adventures In Good reviews

This job sucked the life out of me. Remote work is supposed to allow you to have a better work life balance - but this one was the complete opposite. They have a tracking software that is installed on every employee's computer, and it randomly takes screenshots of your screen without you knowing every ~15 minutes. I'm no longer at this company, but yet I still feel paranoid about this at my current job! The CEO is the biggest micromanager, and she made me feel uncomfortable multiple times. I was in several one on one meetings with her where she called me out and said I was looking at my phone - yet both times I wasn't even near my phone! The way that this company operates does not foster trust within employees and I always felt super on edge working at AGC. I didn't realize how miserable I was at the job until I found something else. Not to mention, I never once received a raise even though I worked there for over a year and my department downsized significantly.

Benefits and Employee Support • Employee hours and benefits are often cut without notice. Part-time employees will soon outweigh full-time employees • Employees are made to feel discouraged from using sick time, with the expectation to attend meetings or “push through” illness  • There is no reliable HR support Leadership and Management • The CEO has limited knowledge and experience in tourism and guiding • Employees are occasionally asked for feedback, but their concerns are not received openly, which discourages participation and honesty • Team goals are often unrealistic and unattainable  • Feeling undervalued, micromanaged, and unfairly criticized became “normal” • CEO takes advantage of enthusiastic professionals in the industry. Pay is very low with no room for growth Operations and Workplace Culture • Decisions to cancel trips are often rash, and cause staff to manage many difficult vendor conversations • The CEO drags her feet on vendor payments, creating additional work for staff and strain on vendor relationships • Employee turnover is extremely high, causing major stress on remaining employees • The tracking software is overly strict and invasive, creating an environment where dedicated employees are frequently criticized despite performing their jobs effectively. The system does not accurately capture the full scope of employees' responsibilities, leading staff to spend time catering to software metrics instead of completing higher-value work, which ultimately hurts productivity.
