Pros

- Great mission to get women outside, create community, and be intentional with travel. - Guides are highly passionate and very prepared for their trips. - Internal staff are well-qualified and care deeply about their work and their sense of community within the organization.

Cons

- CEO is a micro-manager that constantly changes their mind about what to prioritize. - Policies and procedures can change very quickly and cause stress and overloaded work for employees - Strict policies on remote work and office hours. CEO does not trust their employees, even though employees are overworked and deliver on projects. - High turnover. The full staff since new CEO's ownership has turned over due to the poor work culture, under paid salaries, and high work load. - Most staff are not happy in their roles due to these reasons, but aren't able to have honest conversations with management. - Staff are not professionally developed, rather, worked for the needs of the organization. Business-focused, not people-focused. - Staff have been laid off without notice and little explanation from management. - CEO lacks industry knowledge, business skills, and management skills, to run a company in the adventure travel industry.

Pros

- You'll work alongside an incredibly passionate team of like-minded people who genuinely care about the mission and supporting one another. - The staff and guides are the strongest part of the company.

Cons

- The company suffers from inconsistent leadership and excessive micromanagement from the CEO. - Time off is heavily scrutinized and may be referenced during performance discussions, creating pressure around using earned benefits. - The CEO frequently changes priorities, trip offerings, and organizational structures, often resulting in wasted work, confusion, and frustration for all parties. - Accountability is often pushed downward, while constructive feedback and difficult conversations are delegated to others. - Despite being a travel company, there is a strong emphasis on being vigilantly at your computer. - Benefits are below average, and employees are expected to keep pace with AI-driven productivity standards that can feel unrealistic. The company also relies on employee monitoring software that captures screenshots throughout the workday, contributing to a culture of distrust. - There is significant turnover, limited receptiveness to feedback, and a tendency to shift blame when accountability is necessary.
