TopView Sightseeing

A typical workday here? Think - weekend chaos with no breaks, no lunch, and definitely no one checking to see if you’re still alive. Schedules are a mess ,time-off requests get ignored no matter how early you ask, and you might get your shift hours just a few hours before you’re magically expected to be there.
Management? Some of them seem to have never served a table a day in their lives, yet they’re out here trying to lead a team of overworked servers it shows.
 The owners and upper management ? VERY money-hungry. I’ve been put in some seriously unsafe situations, and instead of asking if we were okay, they were more concerned about losing a dollar. Safety? Never heard of it!

If you’ve got another option  literally ANY other option take it and run. If you’re desperate and have the patience of a saint, this job might hold you over… but please have that exit strategy ready. This place will have you annoyed within 24 hours, and job-hunting by day two.

Buckle up, grab a tray, and enjoy the chaos at Tea Around Town ! (Super sarcasm, in case that wasn’t clear.)

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment and culture is hostile, racially charged, toxic. The the existing employees create an atmosphere of unwontedness towards new hire, with some going as far as sabotaging their work. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My typical day started stressful with my immediate supervisor requesting we break New York safety laws which covers the tourist bus  industry. A push to do poor and incomplete repairs on buses going out on the road.

My experience in examples: Cameras watching your every move, “secret shoppers” people who are paid by Topview to act as passengers to spy and report on other employees. Having incentive pay taken away (pay+1/2) at any time without notice or explanation by management. They cram hundreds of passengers on small tour boats with crew that aren’t properly trained in emergency procedures. They don’t require merchant mariner credentials for anyone other than the captains. They schedule the day before the next week and call you in sometimes the day of. Also you have to deal with tourists and caring after them and the messes that they make. 

At first they make you feel like a star, the best, special. Until they thru you to the field like nothing. At first I was sexually harassed my management, which hr came in and handle quickly. I did get my raise that dude promised but besides that. Lack of communication with staff and management. No lunch breaks. Your literally out side at one stop the whole time of your shift. You barely sit. You have only a couplof moms to use the bathroom, before dispatch is rushing you thru the radio... I left on medical leave and  was promised my job back but I keep getting the run a around .. good luck with topview...

What is the best part of working at the company?
Meeting people. However, you can be terminated without notice.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When sales are low, your job is in jeopardy. Within 1 year I witness more than 20ppl terminated from VP’s to ticket agents 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Upper management doesn’t greet or speak. They are extremely rude. That energy trickles down and effects work morale. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Some days are very stressful.

Management offers low salaries but you are forced to work overtime hours, resulting in loss of pay due to compensation. Work place is really unorganized. Buses can be full in the summer and management does not care as long as Ticket agents are selling. This causes irate customers that everyone but management deals with.

Buses are old and formerly Go NY tours that have been wrapped up in order to stray away from the horrible reputation Go NY had.

Dont expect to know your schedule every week is different. Don't expect 40 hours a week their full time is 30 hrs. They don't tell you but you will work all your hours on a weekend. If you want to drive a bus that's not up to standards this is your place. You been warned. Always expect to do what managers want when they come from other places that's why there's alway chaos and confusion when someone from New York comes and changes everything when there was already a set schedule with the local managers.

Tasks are assigned without complete information but you are discouraged from asking questions to clarify instructions. Comments made on their issue tracking software are rarely addressed. Theres little to no planning that happens when it comes to major changes, and these tasks are expected to be done yesterday instead of given time to properly execute.
