Pros

- You have a set schedule but keep in mind it changes every 6 months. - Managers can be really nice, not sure if you can really trust them though. - There is room to move into other positions although not sure how much of a pay increase you would get in the positions that is right above support. - Overall, not a bad company to work for if you do not mind the low pay of course. - No one expects you to work more than you are scheduled. They take work/life balance pretty serious. - Sometimes you get the opportunity to get same day PTO if you win. - Majority of the times, it is not that busy so if there are enough agents on the floor then you will get breaks between phone calls but if there are not enough agents then you may get calls back to back.

Cons

- If you are not bilingual, you will get paid $17 an hour and $19 if you are bilingual. - Daily schedules could be really unfair sometimes. Schedules are supposed to be split up between phones, chats and emails but you may get the whole day or majority of your day on phones while other people have a lot of chat and email time. I would really love to know how they determine the daily schedule changes. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was favoritism and they pick and choose who does what. - Training could be a bit better, it was short and felt like it was too quick. With all of the info you have to learn working on the restaurant side, you will not be really comfortable with the product until months later.

Pros

Being a working mom is HARD. Being a mom has made me such a better team member, but sometimes I have to move my schedule around, and I need atonomy to do that. At OpenTable, I am a better employee because the stress of a rigid schedule/hours/commute to an office has been removed. I have the flexibility to be the best working parent, and the freedom that allows me to be the best employee I have ever been. OpenTable really trusts their employees, and that has been so valuable to me. Other pro's - great pay, great people, good culture, and they act on employee concerns (i.e. there were previous employee concerns about career development, and the company is developming a program to address that need). And the sick policy is great too! Between WFH, atonomy/flexibilty, and a good sick policy, I no longer have to ration my PTO between myself and my kids. I get to use my time off for things I actually want to do!

Cons

They are still working out some kinks form merging OpenTable and Kayak in recent years. There are some access and technology painpoints because of it.

Pros

Fun work environment, games and beer.

Cons

No room for growth unless you are a favorite. There is a ton of favoritism there.
