Pros

This company had some of the better beginning salary levels for the Springfield, MO area. The building had an in-house deli so lunch was convenient. Many of my co-workers were some of the nicest people I've ever met.

Cons

The company's CEO is foreign and it seems that some of his expectations for employees borders on a sweat shop mentality. There was a nice bonus system when I started but by the time I left, the structure had been changed in such a way that making a monthly bonus was all but impossible. Also, while the company started people out a little higher than normal for the area, the yearly raises were quite modest. Call volume seemed to increase to the point where an employee didn't have as much as three seconds between constant phone calls. The company rolled two separate deparmental job functions into one, attempting to get twice as much work out of each employee while providing no reward. There was such an emphasis on metrics, that good management was impossible. People who were promoted were not usually the brightest, the most deserving or the ones who had been there the longest. They were more likely the ones who went out drinking with in-crowd. As a travel company, this company was busiest on holidays so anyone who values holidays with family will be disappointed here.

Pros

Expedia acquired Wotif and I was offered a position to continue working at Expedia.

Cons

- VPs from Expedia doesn't seem to understand Wotif employees. - Take it or leave it kind of contract, where the role is never mentioned. So if an employee is not happy for the new role, there is nothing to do apart from leaving the company. - Really poor salary, no increase were offered. - Longer and less flexible working hours, also Expedia might expect you to work during your weekends or evenings. - Almost every benefit given from Expedia is legally minimum (such as personal leave)

Pros

Expedia has the best benefits, they pay for a gym membership, the insurance is by far the best I will ever have, 3 weeks of vacation starting off to start out and is the highest salary I've received in the hospitality industry. They hire smart, forward thinking individuals who want the same balance in their work and life. This company is growing and you would blossom with it.

Cons

This company is still young and growing quickly so the organization lacks slightly. I would say because of this dramatic growth, the Peter Principal applies here which means that people are promoted not necessarily because they deserve it, but because they were the most senior to do the job.
