If you want to grow professionally, this is not the place for you.
Sales Associate (Former Employee), San Jose, CA – May 20, 2013
It's a good place to work part-time while studying or waiting for better opportunities. However, if you want to grow professionally, this is not the place for you. The work is easy to learn but the delegation of work load is not fair. I had a good relationship with my co-workers and my manager but the work culture can be challenging.

Great retail company to work for
Manager (Current Employee), California – August 16, 2012
Travel Traders has great opportunities for growth. Some of the current District Managers started out as sales associates and worked their way up within the company. Unlike a "big box" retailer, employees have a chance to be recognized and make a difference, instead of being treated like just another employee. This is a great company both for people – more... who are looking for a career in retail or just a good place to work. – less

Stay away from here
Too many hats to count (Former Employee), Miami, FL – July 21, 2012
The office has 100% turn over every few years, no salary increases and some difficult personalities to deal with on a daily basis. Nothing is based on performance only image. They can't even spell their web address on the link in the ad correctly so that should be a huge red flag.
