Pros

Fun young staff, interesting product, opportunities to travel, laidback office

Cons

Management team is a total boys club; the people in management positions have moved their way up the company into positions that they are unqualified for and therefore decisions are not necessarily well-informed; there is very little growth opportunity; there is little loyalty to anyone, from guides to permanent staff; the company has gone from a cool, innovative place to work and travel with to a knock-off of the other youth travel companies out there like Contiki and TopDeck; the MD has never, nor would ever, travel with Busabout personally and I don't think he really understands the soul of Busabout, he is only interested in making a profit and a name for himself

Pros

I found Busabout fostered an environment for professional growth, encouraged initiative and rewarded hard work. I loved working as part of an innovative and supportive team that encouraged thinking outside of the box. With no bureaucracy or micro-management, I found I had the freedom to do what I wanted to achieve my goals with the support of forward thinking industry leaders. I felt valued and empowered to make the role my own with a clear path for career progression. I also learned a range of new skills and received quality training when requested.

Cons

A decent amount of international travel and industry events to attend or host can become tiring.
