Pros

If you have no responsibilities and want to progress B.com is a great place to work. You can travel if you are lucky and get to work in a fast paced multi lingual environment

Cons

I could make a very long list in the 7 years I worked for booking.com in the UK. The CSM level management were never responsible for the failures within the site and when asked to show their management scores and how the Team Leaders felt about their management skills, these were never shown. Failures due to their poor management and interpersonel skills resulted in a lot of bad decisions and minimal support to their staff. Many members of staff go off with stress and depression and are harassed to come back to work and made to feel like they have to justify why they are off. They are then not given support and guidance that they need, but branded and tainted as ones to watch. If you dare to disagree with decisions or procedures, you will not go far and you will be on the list of trouble makers. The comapny has got too big too quick and you are not a person anymore like when they started out. You are just another person in a seat and no discretion is given in any scenario. HR are a mess if you could actually get hold of anyone and when you did they would take forever to get back to you. New systems put in place failed which resulted in Holiday errors and loosing booked days off. Pressure put on agents and TLs is unacceptable and changing the procedures when it suits them when they want to fast track agents.

Pros

The company offers great benefits like health, dental, and vision insurance. Offers 401k and other benefits such as tuition and fitness reimbursement (i.e. gym memberships). There is a bonus every quarter based on perfomance which is nice coming from jobs that did not offer anything.

Cons

Company has changed a lot in the past year, new management from outside has made it a not-so-fun place to work. It used to be a very relaxed and upbeat workplace but now agents are all just cranky and unmotivated. While the company has and continues to grow tremendously, it seems that the opportunity to grow is actually slimming. Starting to hire more from the outside instead of within and causing a lot problems with managers not knowing how the company and system works.

Pros

- Shift flexibility - Competitive pay - Office environment/appliances

Cons

- Favoritism - (Team leads) do nothing - occasionally email the team - and stays hours away from their desks - The drama and gossip is insane here, if you go out with a coworker- the next day the whole call center (+400 people) will be knowing - Team leads have their own little clique and do not assist you to develop as they fear competition to lose their jobs - If your not "close" or if you don't like your Team leader or Operations Manager you can forget about applying for an internal promotion - Team leaders will share any personal information about you with other leaders from their team members, its like a soap opera - If you commit a mistake, you will be known for it and management will never forgive you and it will stay on your "file" forever
