Pros
I really loved working for JTB - it’s one of the best roles I’ve ever had, and I was sad to leave following redundancies as a result of the pandemic. There was something new to learn every day and the Wholesale team were some of the best people I have ever worked with. Management team was incredibly supportive, kind, reasonable and understanding. The office was always a fun place to be and everyone shared at least the common base interest in Japan, so there was a lot of passion for the product across the board.
Cons
The wage could be higher but overtime was paid at fantastic rates when available. The only real con for myself was being made redundant. There’s a lot of manual systems to learn which for some may be a problem or feel tedious, but I felt it kept things very interesting so that most days were quite different from each other.
