Cons
- EXTREMELY LOW PAY- do not expect to have much discretionary income whilst you work here - There are many internal systems issues that make you appear unprofessional to clients and make it hard to do your job to the best of your ability - The level of career advancement opportunities that exist in other travel companies do not exist at G Adventures
Advice to Management
Pay your staff a decent wage and have incentives that are less about team performance and more about individual performance

Pros
Freedom and Flexibility to succeed and enjoy the rewards a company with a soul you can believe in Very focussed on the Employee, who then focusses on the customer. A place for a Vocation, not an occupation
Cons
Loads of ideas - lots to get your head around Very different to other companies - not many transferrable skills for similar roles, so perhaps not for the unmotivated - you have to be VERY motivated at G to succeed

Pros
I was looking for an industry I love, and a company that invests in its people, and a role that could help me change the world. I thought it wasn’t possible; then I found G adventures. They give so many opportunities to learn and develop my skills. They live by their values, which align to my own personal values. Everyday, I love what I do. I love the people I work with. I love what the company stands for.
Cons
We have so many ideas and the opportunity to do them, it’s hard to pick which ones to do first.
Advice to Management
Thank you for supporting and believing in the future leaders of our company.

Pros
A cultural engaged company that gives back to the local communities it travels to! You get to work with like minded, engaged people that love coming to working everyday. If you work hard and do you part this company will reward you and give you opportunities. I feel so proud to have a level of autonomy and freedom of expression in my role but to also be surrounded by some incredible supporting mentors.
Cons
Travel is not a high paid job but that's known industry wide and what G Adventures do in lieu of this with other opportunities is incredible. Working for a company with great people, the fact you love what you do and are working towards something greater is really hard to come buy. It's not for everyone but if you're happy to make compromises to work for an incredible company then its's worth it. A lot of people join...

Pros
Great company culture. It's a fantastic opportunity, working across a global team with a product that is having a positive social impact, and one you can genuinely feel good about. There are opportunities to work around the world, and plenty of benefits.
Cons
A global team means working around global time differences, so you have to sometimes be flexible with working hours. Management is understanding and does allow for flexibility though.
