Hiya and thanks for your feedback. Clearly, I'm disappointed with your rating and the headline. There's not a lot of detail in your comments, however, as you will be aware we recently ran out Your Voice engagement survey. Over the last week or so myself and the Leadership team have been looking at the results and comments. I don't believe for a minute that "if you are friends of someone you will be promoted" in the last 18 months there have been nearly 400 internal promotions, that's a lot of opportunity and you'd need a lot of friends. However, in the Your Voice feedback it is clear we have an issue with how colleagues view our internal recruitment processes. We only got the results last week but we have already started to look at this and I promise that this is on our list of actions following the survey. Unfortunately, this does not mean that everyone will get every internal job they apply for. We recently had a job where we had 32 applicants for 1 role. The role went to an internal candidate but that meant 31 disappointed internal candidates. I love the fact that so many people want to progress in our business but in this scenario there can only be 1 appointment as I have said this is very much on our agenda and i hope that you see the changes coming through over the months ahead. Many thanks Ryan.

Pros

Benefits and Pay will keep you there. 20 PTO days off with options of getting more by working holiday's. Health insurance is great. It's fairly easy. OT during the summer.

Cons

You have little control in the term of customer service most of the control is held by the hotels. Which when your judge on customer satisfaction can be frustrating. They have been moving away from a EU employee centered office model to more American office style taking away Benefits. They have taken 2 away just this year (2018). Hire out more than promote within for team leader management positions. Some of the hours can be not the best. High turnover. You have to correct problems with reservations by outsourced agents from 3rd party companies they hire in the US and aboard. We now have more outsourced 3rd party agent offices than actual Booking.com agent offices.

Pros

It’s in Manchester City centre

Cons

Managers in Sunlight House need some trainin on how to lead and treat people. They obviously aren’t in role to help their teams or advance company, but for their own agenda. They gve little praise but plenty of blame. The company brand talks about being straight talking but there’s so many secret discusions and hushed conversations it’s a horrible environment. Manager needs to be more open and tell people and give them responsibility
