The Travel Corporation Reviews

Pros

Work/Life Balance, Great management team

Cons

Cant think of any negatives

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing!

Pros

- A variety of different brands, so opportunity for growth / movement between brands. - Promoting travel is an exciting opportunity - you're giving people the chance to make lifetime memories etc, not selling financial services! - There's a friendly, social culture, although sometimes the different brands operate in more of a silo than would be beneficial. - There are some extremely talented and inspirational...

Cons

Something that really never sat well with me after I started working at TTC was it's approach to supporting women in the workplace. For a multi-million dollar global company operating in 60 countries / 35 offices around the world, you would think that the company would be able to offer parental leave support to their staff that would be at least on par, or close to what is the industry norm in Australia. Unfortunately...

Advice to Management

Walk the walk as well as talk the talk. The current promotion of the business as a supportive workplace for women doesn't feel genuine if you don't follow through with actual policy and genuine support.

Pros

The company had a great family culture to it and there were always opportunities to move to different positions within any of it's brands. A great place to work with a lot of long time employees because of this.

Cons

Depending on your role the pay rate can be on the lower side compared to the market. This is the only downside to working here.

Advice to Management

Doing a great job but you need to re-evaluate the rate of pay compared to the market average. This would really help you reduce turnover even more.

Pros

Discounts rates are good.

Cons

Management are supportive, as long as it benefits the company and not the individual. Staff shortages and very low pay for the amount work you do. No where to go in this company unless someone steps down from a role. Management get raises when the people who do the majority of the work get nothing.

Advice to Management

Increase the wages, maybe it'll keep staff around.

Pros

staff benefits after 1 year of work

Cons

culture, management, career progression opportunities

Pros

Great company to work for, Excellent career progression opportunities within companies and also crossing to other brands, especially for Sydney based staff. Great discounts for staff on tours.

Cons

Get there early in the morning the lifts take a while!

Pros

TTC have plenty of benefits for staff. All divisions of management are engaging and strongly believe in training development. One such course that I completed recently is the 7 Habits for Managers which I found useful for not only work but my personal time. With a wide variety of travel products under their belt, TTC have the opportunity to move to different roles, brands and even countries.

Cons

As with most companies and common to the travel industry wages can always be a contentious issue. TTC have plenty of benefits and are often willing to negotiate depending on levels of experience and abilities.

Advice to Management

Keep up the great work. Management are great at engaging staff and have plenty of social activities to keep it interesting.

Pros

Like with most family relationships they can often take a lot of work but can be very rewarding. Working for the TTC is no different. Great environment to work in Lovely people from all walks of life and various levels of experience Can open the door to new experiences and knowledge. Great continued education plans in place Social events for the staff A pillar in the Travel industry and well respected Room...

Cons

They expect a lot from you, but most find this rewarding. They will push you to do more and better yourself but there are pro's to this as well. There can be limitations on growth but mostly due to higher individuals not leaving often (must be a good role to have, and therefore keeps me striving) The one down side is that Salary's are low for the industry standard. However they tend to hire people who are dedicated...

Advice to Management

Respect and empower your teams at all levels, we are keen to support you at all times through the good and the bad. Keep up the positive changes in SYD they are making a difference.
