Pros

At one time Booking.com Orlando was a great place to work it was a family a customer service center not a typical U.S. Call center. The guest was the priortity and internal advancement was open to all employees.

Cons

Unfortunately, Booking.com Orlando has become that dreaded U.S. Call center. Regardless of how you treat the guest with the best service possible the metrics are all that matter. The CSAT (customer survey) is not applicable just to the CSE but the CSE is held accountable for the survey even if it has nothing to do with their proformance and if the survey is low then you are written up on a 90 day write up for a 30 day metrics report. Completely unfair to the CSE - upper management does not seem to care or take this into consideration. I have worked for Bookng.com for 2yrs. I was in love with my job it was a family but now I hate getting out of bed and going to work. Think about it when 80 employees are fired in one month for no good reason just because upper management feels they are not being productive although they are and have been the original staff that has helped with bring Booking.com to the U.S. status it currently is in. There is no consideration for the employee! This is when you know that you need to leave and not refer anyone to work at Booking.com because you do not want for this unhappiness to happen to anyone else.

Beware of management

Pros

You work with awesome people and have complete flexibility with your job. One of the top benefits is the ability to travel to Amsterdam 1-2/year.

Cons

Management literally has no clue how to manage people. Your direct manager is great as they at least understand your role but the area and regional manager have unrealistic expectations. Driven by numbers only, which to a certain extent is important, but hotel partners are starting to notice.

Pros

- The end of the year party in Amsterdam for everyone in the company. - The company is growing and there is no end in sight. The CEO is very smart and is setting up some interesting things for the industry.

Cons

- The job you are hired for is not the job you will end up doing and the company fails to train you adequately for the transition. - Goals and Targets change radically from quarter to quarter so there is no way to adequately know if you will be getting your bonus that quarter. - Upper management is super cliquey and people advance based on who they are friends with, not on the merits of their skills. - Booking has frozen most of their hiring and is forcing their employees to move to their new offices across the country. They sell this as an opportunity and offer a "generous" relocation package but this has become the only way to advance in the company. Managers constantly imply that you are selfish if you want to stay within your own office and grow your career there. Additionally realize that people are willing to move if you provide good opportunities for them, not just the same job in some nowhere town. - Pay is low for the stress of the job. - Booking is moving to micromanaging your day by monitoring every phone call you make every day. I didn't get into this business to be measured on my sales volume. I got in it to serve the hotels and make sure they are making a good profit off of us (and us them). - HR doesn't care about the garbage or harassment that their managers do or say to their employees.

Yes, this is a changing environment as we try hard to manage our growth. A lot of thought is put into trying to minimize the impact on employees, but we need to get better. Thanks for taking the time to write.
