My manager Richard and my colleague Mia are very helpful and approachable. I find my job very easy because they are always there to answer my queries.
Cons
There are some things that we can improve on some processes which I would like to propose.

Pros
Wonderful colleague. They will assist you all through out.
Cons
none so far as I am still new
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
There was nothing good about this job
Cons
Everything about working for this place was awful. Do yourself a favour and stay very far away from this company. They make you pay for your computer and headset, and then try put you on minimum wage and say your a ‘contractor’ that way they don’t have to pay you annual leave, sick leave etc. The biggest scam of a job, don’t be fooled!
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The office is so fresh and modern, with a working atmosphere to match! Facilities are always clean and there's not a single room on the floor without a spectacular view. The location is also unbeatable, being just a 2 minute walk to Surfers Paradise beach, bars, restaurants and shops. The work hours are an absolute dream, finishing at 2pm daily, with weekends off, makes my life and experience here as a working holiday traveler the ultimate goal. But most importantly, my most favourite part about this job is being able to chat with like-minded people all day, helping to turn their travel inquiries into a future reality !!
Cons
The only negative about working here would be that you're not going to be making a real decent income, especially if you have an unsuccessful week on the sales floor.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great office views, dog-friendly office, amazing management, great training, such a welcoming, and helpful team!
Cons
I've been working at Global Work and Travel for over a month and there are no cons at the moment!
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- Positive - Fun - Engaging - Relaxed - Productive First job I've ever had that is in a relaxed environment instead of stressful, which actually makes everyone more productive in turn. Great place to have a laugh and opportunity to make lots of money. Fantastic training also.
Cons
Can't think of anything. We are always learning new things so it's vibing and thriving.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Super friendly team and managers, lots of support for people just starting, great location all around great office vibes! Supports animal welfare too!
Cons
Don't have a bad word to say!
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★

Continue readingThank you for taking the time to submit this feedback. We are happy to hear you met some great people during your time with us. We do pride ourselves on finding and cultivating great people as that’s what makes our services shine! All our salaries are routinely reviewed in line with the Canadian industry standard. The starting salary for this position is $40,000 per annum ($19.25 per hour) and that is what each employee has been paid at a minimum. As you were with us for a short time, you would not have yet been eligible for a salary increase, or our highly coveted travel benefits program that provides staff with double the industry paid time off, and free airfares anywhere around the world. However, you would have still had access to a range of staff perks that come with our company and office building, such as gym membership, free coffee, tea, beer, and kombucha, wellness areas, free weekly events and social gatherings, plus many other great benefits staff receive. Unfortunately, we cannot understand your feedback regarding hours. We follow the standard 40 hour workweek and there is rarely ever a need for overtime unless there is a company event, or if staff wish to finish their current task when 5:30 comes around, which some choose to do, but are not required to. We also, generally, maintain a great staff retention rate, with most staff staying well beyond their initial contract. We attribute this to our great work environment, which is built and maintained by our incredible staff working in a fast-paced and exciting industry making our customer's travel dreams come true. We find it disheartening to hear that our organisation did not line up with your employment expectations, however, we spend a great deal of time and effort to ensure we are more than competitive in our remuneration packages and general staff care and wellbeing. If you wish to discuss your review and score in more detail, we would welcome you to provide further insight directly to our feedback team feedback@globalworkandtravel.com. In the meantime, we wish you the best with your future endeavours and hope you find something more in line with your employment expectations.
