Pros

Non-scripted, personable phone calls from a wide range of callers (Diners, Restaurant Owners, IT Staff, Etc). Plenty of resources available for help (Hipchat, Supervisors, Team-Structures). Wonderful new Denver building office with all the amenities. Less focus on speed, more focus on service behind call quality. This can become a very technical role, you will end up remote accessing into restaurant routers and configuring settings and doing port forwarding. Some general Tech Background would be highly beneficial.

Cons

Procedures and protocols for certain calls and situations seem to change often. Company just transitioned from 3rd party SRP to in-house support so queue times are longer than normal.

I’m happy to hear that our contact center is representing our company’s value in hospitality! We’ve had lots of success in our contact center transition thus far but we’re always looking to improve. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Pros

* It's a great brand * Great partners * Decent product with strong distribution

Cons

* Management style was heavily top-down, with decision-making concentrated among a small group of senior leaders. * This was the same when they were all working at KAYAK under the same group * I observed what I felt was preferential treatment of certain employees (notably of a certain ethnicity - IYKYK), which negatively impacted perceptions of fairness and inclusivity within the organisation. * The workplace environment could be highly stressful, and concerns raised by employees were not always addressed effectively. * Staff wellbeing, retention, and morale appeared to be ongoing challenges during my time with the company.
