G Adventures Reviews

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

Awesome team environment Strong focus on staff enjoying their workspace Beer o’clock on Fridays Team activities

Cons

Global phone line and rude North American clients Felt like a call centre and expectations were to answer 40+ calls per day Salary is low

Advice to Management

Bump up the base salary!

Pros

The company includes Happiness within their P&L bottomline, a massive focus on having a higher purpose and changing people's lives through travel, engaging culture, FOC trip incentives, lots of opportunities for personal development and growth.

Cons

Being global it can sometimes take a while to receive work tools such as phone upgrades, uniforms, and flyer / design approval.

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 Culture and Fun atmosphere

Cons

None as yet. Hopefully none.

Pros

- Travel benefits - Meet awesome people from across the globe

Cons

- Average attrition rate for guides is around 8 months - Very low pay - Toxic culture (a cult that is detached from reality) - Viscous self-promotion on 'Salesforce' is forced on employees by management - Inadequate support available when things go wrong on the road - No real opportunities for advancement - No work/life balance. Management try to control all aspects of your personal and professional life - Management...

Advice to Management

Good luck in the real world!

Pros
