Pros

Free/discounted travel, fun events attended in the role.

Cons

The team was very click-y and very jealous. If you were successful and not in the "click", they made an active effort to make your day to day as difficult as possible. Unpaid extended work hours were expected, an average of at least 10+ hours a week more. At one point I had to take a last minute sick day as I had a miscarriage through the night and notified my line manager as soon as possible and followed all procedures. A year later (after that line manager moved on for the above reasons) the new line manager pulled this sick day up in a meeting with HR using it as an example of how I was unreliable. I was let go with 4 weeks pay in that meeting and the new manager proceeded to replace me with their close friend. I was so grateful to be walking out of that job that day knowing I never had to go back, even under those circumstances and with no job prospects.

Pros

Contiki is an incredible company to work for, I am so thankful for all the opportunities that I had there. The interview and training process is hard work, they require your full commitment to the process. At times you may doubt your ability to get through it, but at the end when you are out on the road and are faced with some- lets say bizarre and high-stress situations- you are truly thankful that they gave you the skills to cope and come up with solutions. The job is incredible. You meet great people from all over the world. Not one group is the same and every time you go to a destination you find something new to love about it. Sometimes I would sit at the front of the coach and look out at the Swiss Alps or the Eiffel Tower and feel overwhelmed with happiness- YES I have got the best job in the world. The office are extremely supportive and look after you, I have always found them interactive with us road crew and eager to listen to our ideas. They also help you to progress within your job, so as you grow within the brand you can filter into other positions.

Cons

The job is addictive- many people think they will be there for 2 or 3 years. But you have so much fun and you have flexibility to travel in your off season and so most people come back again and again.
