Pros

Culture, tech, office environment is incomparable. Dallas location is also a bit more diverse and less trendy than HQ. We are spoiled rotten with perks -Insurance is top-notch -Travel Benefit -Commuter Benefit -PTO/Sick above average -Culture/Environment/Teams are like little families TripActions is excellent; the idea behind the tech is great. I'm lucky to get to work for a startup that is making such huge strides in Travel.

Cons

Sometimes it's chaos Support: -Management plays favorites -Promotions based on who you know, not what you know -No accountability w/in support -Little stability/clarification; often you find information out from peers -Leads appear to play favorites, poor delegation -Inexperience and laziness leads to some TSS 1's getting overworked Company: -Despite a need, new roles/departments/processes are not scaling -Dallas office can feel sort of us vs. them (support vs. non-support) -CSM lack knowledge RE: App and Support functions, some lack travel knowledge TripActions is a startup, so growing pains are normal. But, the pains within support are becoming increasingly more apparent. VTO for TSS 1's while some other support departments need help. Management appears to have priorities elsewhere/not currently on scaling different support roles.

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
