The Mark Travel Corporation Employee Reviews about "core values"

Pros

Amazing leadership, great core values, good teamwork.

Cons

Going through a merge, however it has been very positive so far.

Pros

The management of the company put great emphasis on their core values and the wellness of the staff. Fair salaries, fun place to work!

Cons

Being in a satellite office can be challenging at times. Many of the fun events that happen in the corporate office are not as easily duplicated here.

Pros

LME's core values are constantly reinforced in everyday activities. If you live by the core values you will be successful in this organization. There is a lot of opportunity to grow within the organization and I've been promoted twice (Specialist to Associate Manager to Manager) since 2014. The employees are very respectful of each other and like to have fun. Wellness is heavily promoted and HR does an amazing job to encourage work/life balance, even promoting non-work related activities during normal business hours. Vacation/Illness/Personal time is accrued quicker than any company I know. 401k is competitive and generous.

Cons

Salaries in the Travel Industry tend to be lower-than-average compared to other industries that hire college graduates and this company follows that trend.

Pros

The chain of management in my team is awesome, all the way to the top. There's so much communication, dedication, support, and appreciation. No one is ever too busy (yes, everyone's busy) to take time to answer questions, have a teachable moment, address an issue, or share gratitude. As one who thrives in a positive environment, The Mark Travel Corporation (TMTC) is my place. My opinion, my voice, my work, and my wellness is valued. We have so many wonderful programs around team member wellness that I look forward to and actively participate in. Management supports me in my innovations and my desire for growth. If you walk into TMTC with a positive attitude, ready for engagement, and can embrace change, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the outcome. Our core values aren't just words. They're the directions we live by. Be well, work well, live well.

Cons

The company expects a lot from team members? I love staying engaged and progressive at work so I guess that's an upside for me, but I could see where it might be too much for others. If you want to work for the best, you must perform at your best.

Pros

The Core Values are true to who the organization is Great opportunities for personal advancement The people - outstanding people Exciting industry Fun work environment

Cons

Constantly really busy A lot is expected of team members

Pros

I've been with the company many years now, and have seen firsthand many instances of how much the owners care about the team members and the company itself. I've never seen a company so invested in the core values - it makes me proud to say I'm a team member. From the benefits, to the vacation plan (which, compared to other Milwaukee companies, is very generous), to the wellness program - team members mean a lot to the company. I can also tell you that I'm not the only one who feels this way. For each person who has negative things to say about the company, there are 10 more who feel the opposite. We have such longevity and knowledge throughout the teams and you can see the passion for the products we sell and for the customer. We try to treat each other like family here - we may not always agree on things, but we all care about each other.

Cons

Teams require a lot from their team members and they hold their team members accountable. Although we have fun, we still expect a high quality of work from everyone. We have our own operating system which can take some adaptability (but is useful once you get using it). Keep in mind none of these are really negatives, but you have to be willing to get your hands dirty and do the work.

Pros

This company has great hotel discounts and comps. The people are very friendly and they have good core values. They always try to make it fun by constantly having events and things. They have a great work at home program.

Cons

They over work you. When it's busy season, which is most of the year, it's back-to-back calls and mandatory overtime. You have to work 9, 10, 11, and 12 hour shifts sometimes if you want to work only 5 days a week. The 500 club travel agents are very demanding, resistant, and stubborn. It's very mentally draining. The pay is unsatisfactory for the amount of stress you go through. Work/life balance is below average when mandatory overtime is in play. There aren't many positions you can move up to in Orlando.
