Pros

Good healthcare benefits, flexibility, nice people, interesting business

Cons

Egos abound in this company. If it weren't so uncomfortable it would be amusing. It's all smoke and mirrors folks. If you drink the Kool-aid you'll be okay for a while, until you realize that what you are being told could not be further from the truth. You WON'T get promoted unless you are friends with the right people. You will NEVER earn as much as you would at another OTA. Keep your head down, your mouth shut and find another job ASAP. It's nice to have free lunch once a month and bar hop on the company but what does that do for your quality of life?
