The training programmes are thorough and extensive, providing a solid foundation for building a career in travel. There are excellent opportunities for career progression, with employees able to move into different roles and specialise in areas they enjoy.

However, there are some potential challenges, such as the steep learning curve involved in mastering multiple systems and the fast-paced environment that requires strong organisational skills. The base salary is relatively low, with earnings dependent on commission and incentives.

Additionally, some employees have indicated that onboarding processes could be improved to provide better in-store support for new starters.
