I've always found it much easier and faster to make the travel arrangements myself than to do it with a travel agency
But that's the point. With the travel agency contact, employees did ZERO work. One day you just got an email with your flight, car and hotel information. The travel agency handled everything.
There was no "working with" an agent. Employees focused on their work, not figuring out travel arrangements.
That you worked with someone tells me we're talking about different things.

I've never worked anywhere where they just sent me flight and hotel information with no input from me. I've always coordinated with the travel agent so I could at least pick a travel time that worked for me.
Conversely, I've never worked anywhere where the employees had input on this sort of thing. The company's paying for it, travel is on company time, so barring conflicts like doctors' appointments, the company tells the employees when and where to go.
