About Travelpro
At the heart of Travelpro® is a man who knew more about travel than most. As a commercial airline pilot, Bob Plath crisscrossed the globe a thousand times, always with suitcase in tow. He saw what happened to luggage over time and the toll in took on the traveler hauling it. Bob thought there had to be a better way. Dedication is at the heart of our success.
At Travelpro®, we believe that a company is only as good as its people, and when associates are treated as the greatest asset, the worth of the company is magnified. We demonstrate this by fostering individual achievement, recognizing contributions, and rewarding excellence. With customers as our focus and people as our priority, even the sky is no limit.
We are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversifying its workforce. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, age, national origin, disability status, genetic information, protected veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law.
