Gant-Travel

I have had the privilege of being a part of the Gant Travel team for more than two years, during which time I have had the opportunity to contribute to two different departments. My journey with Gant Travel has been a source of tremendous satisfaction. One of the remarkable aspects of this organization is its commitment to comprehensive training and unwavering support for its employees, which extends beyond the initial onboarding phase. The Gant Travel team consistently demonstrates their availability and dedication to assisting their colleagues. 

During my transition to a different role within the company, I encountered fresh challenges. However, I found myself well-equipped to embrace this change, thanks to the exceptional training and support I received. The collaborative and friendly environment at Gant Travel is a testament to the organization's culture. Supervisors/Managers and Colleagues willingly offer their assistance, even when it falls outside the scope of their specific responsibilities. I originate outstanding fulfillment from my role at Gant Travel, where I experience no restrictions in performing my duties. The accessibility of resources and the collective commitment to a supportive atmosphere ensure I can always seek guidance and learn more to grow in my role.

I look forward to continuing my journey with Gant Travel and contributing to the company's ongoing success.

I have been working at Gant for over 9 years, and my experience has been extraordinarily rewarding. One of the standout features of Gant is its progressive approach to work arrangements, particularly its support for digital nomads like myself. The company recognizes the value of a balanced life and provides the flexibility needed to work from various locations, which has been invaluable to me. This flexibility goes hand-in-hand with Gant's inclusive and supportive culture. Management is not only approachable but also actively listens to employee feedback, making efforts to offer opportunities for both personal and professional development. Despite the fast-paced nature of our industry, Gant has managed to maintain job stability and offers a competitive compensation package that includes excellent healthcare benefits and retirement options. I continue to look forward to what the future holds at Gant as we both continue to grow.

There was a time many many years ago that the CEO cared about Gant Travel and the employees. During my interview the person interviewing me was proud of the fact that Gant did not outsource. 
Times have changed, we.get it. HOWEVER, what breaks the hearts of all the US employees that were let go, and replaced with outsourced agents and family members of the executive team, is the that the CEO changed.  He is cold, uncaring and genuinely could care less about employees that dedicated many years of loyal service. The VP of Sales is worse, and together they make a great team. The entire Executive Team needs to take a company trip ( post COVID-19) and put forth a group effort and really look hard to find a heart amongst one of them. 
Furloughed employees get emailed wordy updates every now and then  about what's currently happening at Gant.. .. However not one time has any member of the executive team or current middle management reached out to us or even hosted a call to see how any of us are doing. 




Helping travelers was always the best part of the job, and there were always a lot of great people to work there with.  The culture started going downhill fast when the owner stopped running it.  It used to be about wowing the customer with service.  Now its all about sales and making money for the owner.

Most managers and supervisors and coworkers were really really great.  They cared and they wanted to help the customers and employees.  I always loved the people I worked with.  They were like family. Then they replaced family with "TEAM".  

Working from home was great and super convenient.  There were always lots of new things to learn which is great too but it got to be too much change.  Jobs started moving overseas.  Good people left.  Big brother was watching.  Nothing was ever good enough.  It was like a bunch of cheerleaders with knives behind their backs.

I love working from home. I had great training and I get to work with truly fantastic people.  I have only been here 12 months and have been given opportunities to grow several times.  My opinion matters.   I am recognized for my great work ethic and helpful attitude.  When I run into snags, I am given the best support and coaching I have ever received.  We have 1 on 1 meetings weekly and team meetings every month, where we can share and encourage each other. There is a wide range of experience and professional backgrounds.  I learn something new from someone new regularly. The CEO personally reaches out to each new employee and creates a personal relationship.  The company takes everyone once a year on a fully paid weekend getaway to meet and befriend each other.  It's an amazing place to work.  This is my forever job.

Gant is the best travel arrangement company I have had the privilege to work at. The most notable work culture that I have ever experienced in the entire time that I have been in the workforce. I have yet to meet a person who isn't a team player. One of the best things is our annual meeting, where no matter where you live in the United States or Canada, you get the opportunity for flight and accommodation free to meet your coworkers in person. Coming from a virtual environment is the best feeling and really brings the company together. 

The amount of resources for upskilling is incredible as well. If you want to take your career to the next level and advance with total success, they have every way to work up the corporate later with no prejudice. 

I have been at Gant Travel 5 years now and I cannot believe how fast time flies when you are doing what you love.  When you work for a group of hard working and and high integrity executives, its easy to wake up every morning wanting to do your very best.  The Exec team leads by example and inspires each of us everyday.  

The work culture is a little different than others as most of the company works from home all across the country, but our leaders work hard to make it feel less isolated.  The hardest part about the job is working alongside some of the hardest working people in the industry, but only seeing them face-to-face once a year for our company-wide retreat, Gantapalooza.

When I was hired, I was so proud to be Gantite. It was great for the first few years. Things started to changed once new executives were hired. Jobs were outsourced, the moral changed, and then the "mean girl, I dont want you on my team" started. Friends of friends, and executive's kids started to get hired, and without any relevant work experience. 
The Exec Team and all of the Directors could not be bothered with hearing the cries of the people that were affected. They basically turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to what was happening. A few of the supervisors were sketchy too.   They love to talk about the core values at company functions, but once the event is over those core values no longer have any meaning. It is sad to see all of the negative changes that have taken place over the past few years. 

Gant is a great place to work. Coworkers are friendly and everyone goes out of their way to help each other. Pay is decent and there is significant savings by being all remote that prevents the need of commuting costs and loss of time driving to and from the office every day in rush hour. There is an all company call every day so employees stay in the loop by being briefed by each department leader. Never experienced micro-management at Gant, they hire the right people and leave them to do their work however, there is always someone available to assist if asked.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Room to grow and move up. Fast paced 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Customer service is always stressful. That doesn’t reflect on the company, just the job itself 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is remote work but none the less we meet everyday online and everyone works together for the bigger picture. You always will have individuals who are difficult but for the most part amazing atmosphere 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Client meetings, client training, emails and tasks
