Good conditions, but terrible Human Resources
- Compensation is above average in the Netherlands.
- Booking is a market leader. If you like high-traffic platforms, this is one of them.

- Human Resources is nearly non-existent. There is no direct contact to HR, and if you have an issue, it can take weeks to even get your question acknowledged.
How can employees commit to the company when the company shows so little commitment toward its employees?
