Pros

Many of the people within the team believe deeply in the value of educational travel and it's highly motivating to work together towards the idea of transforming the lives of young people. You'll also learn a lot, about various destinations and activities around the world. Aside from some jealousy, it's a great way to learn about the world.

Kontras

The systems and processes in place have several legacy issues, and for the business to progress to the next level, certain long-standing employees will have to change the way they have operated for a long time. There also exists an abuse of power by certain senior team-members, who can be disrespectful and unnecessarily harsh on those working below them.

Thanks for your feedback and glad that, on balance, you had a great experience. We do provide a way each year to provide feedback to managers that is acted on. Managers are required to take information from the employee survey and take action based on their location or department.

Pros

- Some nice team members

Kontras

- In the time I was contracted 4 rounds of layoffs were done in key departments, HR being on of them. - Layoffs are done annually and intentionally at the end of the year. During the HOLIDAYS! - Inexperienced leadership, leadership is chosen based on popularity contests. The more inexperienced, the higher the chance of climbing up the ladder. Team members with vast more experience and seniority, passed on. - Phrases commonly used: “Stupid Idea” “Waste of Time” “Below my pay grade” “Above my pay grade” “Don’t speak to X” “Don’t do Y” (But Y is literally in your job description) - They hire contractors via third party to test out leadership. If leadership is not qualified, leader is placed on PIP and contractor terminated. - Everyone is afraid to speak, most speak openly about wanting to leave and applying to other jobs
