Pros
TTC is a very welcoming company, with the majority of people who are employed here friendly and always willing to help each other. The recent office refurbishments have made a big difference and given the office a brand new feel. This is a family orientated business and we regularly recieve updates from CEO updating us on all business aspects. There is a huge focus Corporate Social Responsibility, with constant reminders on how we can have a positive impact on the world. This makes me as an individual think twice and respect the environment more both in our professional and personal lives as much as we can.
Cons
Pension contribution could be improved.
The Travel Corporation2019-08-22Thank you for your feedback on your experience so far with The Travel Corporation! The family culture within our company is definitely a factor that is valued and driven by our CEO. This is also demonstrated by the care and investment in our recent office refurbishment which has and continues to enhance our employee experience. Our CEO puts great effort and focus on our CSR, not only raising employee and guest awareness on issues like single-use-plastic and eradicating it from our offices and guest experiences, but also demonstrated by the numerous projects delivered by our TreadRight Foundation. Thank you once again and I wish you a successful future with us! Iva Simoes Head of People & Culture

Pros
Most of the staff are genuinely lovely - can be exciting during peak season. London office refurb much better now than before.
Cons
Company has LOTS of brands (almost too many) but short staffed and somewhat chaotic / outdated processes - don't pay enough for very long hours and weekend work during peak season. Needs modern approach and new eyes / fresh meat - feels slightly stagnant yet so busy there's little time to properly implement any change. Senior staff completely pander to CEO - seems to be an air of fear = lot of time spent focusing on wrong things / politics.

Thank you for your feedback on your experience with The Travel Corporation in London. Our teams really are our greatest asset and we certainly have amazing people that drive our family culture feel, which is driven by our CEO. I'm glad you appreciated the London office refurbishment. This has been a huge worthwhile investment made by the Tollman family to provide a greater environment for our teams. We do have many brands, but as you will know, each of them have their purpose and target markets and no brand is the same. We do have busier times during our peak season, but we also ensure our teams are supported. New eyes can bring benefits and we certainly have that within our business but also nurture a culture of career progression and talent retention. There are areas that we need to develop and agree that continuous management training and development is the way forward. If you would like to share more detailed information with us please don't hesitate to get in touch with the People & Culture team. Wishing you all the best, Iva Simoes Head of People & Culture

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you feel you had a bad experience, as a company we continue to make changes and investments in the right areas to meet the requirements for our guests and travel agent partners. Since you left we have invested to improve our offices at Grosvenor Place. We now have a fantastic kitchen, large enough for colleagues to socialise. We also have additional meeting rooms and breakout areas for teams to work together. Our tech stack modernisation is well underway and we continue to invest in new technologies and tools. Feel free to get in touch should you wish to discuss anything further. Best regards, Gunjan Verma, CTO

Pros
In some departments things work very well, it all depends on the management. The new offices are nice.
Cons
Low pay, no real opportunities to grow, bullying culture by management. People are allowed to insult and make offensive comments and even after being reported to HR several times, they will be promoted as they're friends of the managers. No clear organisation, no pay for extra hours. No real travel perks or benefits for such a big company.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It is great to hear that you appreciated the new offices and the efficiency of some of our departments. Any concerns or grievances raised to HR are treated seriously and followed up on to ensure a culture of wellbeing and fairness within our teams. A bullying culture is not tolerated within TTC, so I'm sorry to read of your experience. We are currently working on bringing our benefits to life and create awareness of what is available to employees. We have some great perks including up to 100% travel discounts with our TTC brands, a social event per month, private medical health insurance paid for by the company, amongst many others. Being part of a global family owned business, there are numerous opportunities to grow and develop in a career with TTC and this is, where needed and relevant, supported with sponsorship by the company for work related courses which may aid in an employee's career development. Thank you once again for your feedback, we truly appreciate it and take it on board. Wishing you all the best for the future. Iva Simoes, Head of People & Culture
