Pros
I made a lot of future contacts within the industry that have bettered my career. Also, a lot of people in the last 20+ years have worked for this company or have heard of them. Knowing you survived them, and even better, did well by the company, holds a lot of clout. Also, the level of knowledge that you can pick up will be invaluable. Every single department has something to teach you about Tour and Travel, and that education, although one brought by fire, will teach you how to excel within the industry. For this reason, I give working here an extra star.
Cons
The people who are recognized, lauded, and promoted are the people who have been there for 10+ years. Although these people definitely deserve what they have, they also wield incredible power. If they decide they don't like you, you get all the crap work, triple the work load of others, and overlooked for appreciation. These same people have a long history with each other, filled with drama and politics that any new-ish person is not aware of. Many times, these old timers will try and use newbies against other old timers, many times to the detriment of all. Because these people are in charge, there is no or little opportunity for growth. They put you where they like you, and that is where you stay. Outside of the constant drama, you also have the two owners, who are mostly absent unless there is a photo op or other event. One is always trying to evangelize her Christian faith, often involving scripture reading and prayer during holidays (even non-religious ones) and other all company events. The other seems nice enough, just pretty aloof. Another weird thing is the obsessive patriotic fervor that permeates the owners/executive management. You definitely get that super right-wing Christian vibe from the one owner. When they have reporters or important people in the office, all employees are encouraged to dress in red, white and blue. Its just a little much. The company also does its best to break people with an overwhelming amount of work. It is very much a sink or swim atmosphere, and this is exacerbated by little to no training before you are cast adrift. If you are looking to actually meet deadlines and do a good job, expect to work 12-15 hours a day after your first 30 days. This is also management's expectation, and you will definitely get a look from your direct supervisor and executive management if you're not there after 10 hours of work for exempt employees. Finally, half of the company is staffed with "interns" who work for barely minimum wage and are given duties more in line with regular employees. In some cases, they are appointed to what should be considered exempt positions. Its pretty shady.
