Pros

Some really great perks within the travel industry

Cons

1. There's little to no growth opportunities here, any jobs that open up they will seek a consultant outside the company to hire. All the best talent in the company are leaving due to no growth, micromanaging, and no clear direction. 2. Leadership being hired is clueless about the industry and job at hand. They are hiring consultants with no experience within the field or industry to lead teams. (Failure!) 3. Leadership is hiding behind micromanaging to pretend they know what they are doing. (Failure!) 4. 2014 they started taking away perks like Wednesday lunches in the Dallas office, Friday in office happy hours, monthly pizza gatherings because the Dallas VP/GM says it's not being appreciated and used properly. 5. If you are able to make great power points, claim others work as your own, and present this work as yours...you will move up quickly. 6. Unless you are with the "in crowd", wanting to kiss up to management and be fake all the time, you wont do well here. Imagine high school all over again. 7. Talent isn't appreciated, just what consulting firm you were at before joining the company.
