Pros

Not many...some of the people are nice and genuine but for the most part they are egotistical, not very helpful especially in sales because people are constantly trying to steal each other’s sales, and just overall not very good at their position . The product is cool too.

Cons

Way too many: •the amount of turnover •if money is a priority to you I highly suggest looking elsewhere. You can literally make as much working at a fast food chain or Walmart. I also did not receive my revenue bonus because it is paid out yearly as opposed to monthly which I’ve never heard of before. •management is just sad which the exception of one of my male Managers who actually was very helpful and good at what he does (makes me wonder why he works at this company with his skill set) •treat employees like children and very strict about taking breaks which many of us found necessary since you’re just sitting on a phone the whole time and lunch break is 30 minutes long which gives you enough time to do nothing AND you have an assigned lunch time lol •I could keep going but that’s enough

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your review about your experience with YLG. Our Inside Sales team, with whom you previously worked, is a very fast-paced department and we recognize that it may not be the best environment or fit for everyone. Each and every client is very important to us, and we must be available to assist them in a timely manner when they contact us to book a vacation, ask questions, or resolve a complaint. Our clients are the cornerstone of our business. For that reason, it is essential that we coordinate with our staff to ensure that breaks and lunches are taken accordingly. If you’ve ever had a customer experience where no one was available to assist you, I’m sure you can appreciate what we hope to avoid. It also appears that you may have misinterpreted the pay structure and compensation for your sales, so I would just like to clarify this. Every month, agents are paid commission in addition to their basic pay. In fact, most agents collect about two-thirds of all commissions during the course of the year with the remainder paid at the end. Each month, exceptional sales agents are also eligible for kickers above their basic commissions. Again, thank you very much for your review. I welcome you to contact myself directly for any further clarification. Ashlee Pekar Inside Sales Supervisor 1-800-268-7252 ext. 1181

Pros

First and foremost, the people at RBG are what make it such a great place to work. The team is passionate, supportive, and genuinely enjoys what they do. Everyone works hard, but there's also a strong culture of having fun and celebrating successes together. RBG does an excellent job of fostering a collaborative, team-oriented environment. Even though we work remotely, which is another fantastic perk, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with colleagues through clubs like cooking, running, gaming, and more. These groups make it easy to build relationships with team members across the organization. And, of course, working in the travel industry is an exciting bonus. Being part of a company that helps create memorable travel experiences makes the work even more rewarding.

Cons

If fast-paced is not for you, RBG may not be your best fit.

Pros

Remote. Hourly + Commission. Health Benefits.

Cons

High performance metrics were not the primary factor in employment decisions. Leadership communication was inconsistent and lacked transparency. Policies prioritizing customer satisfaction leaves you feeling undervalued and used. Rapid operational changes occasionally impacted team stability. Goals and priorities were sometimes ambiguous and would change suddenly without explanation. Organizational changes created confusion and conflict to the work culture. Inconsistent enforcement of policies and standards. Constant increase to work load with no additional scheduled time to complete new assigned tasks. Management is mostly comprised of individuals who failed as successful Account Executives but got moved up to management. They impose unrealistic expectations that they themselves couldn't keep. You aren't just selling Rail Vacations you are teaching customers about how train travel works on the phone, this leads to very long phone calls and over time. Website pricing is misleading which leads to a lot of mad customers calling in taking it out of the people that answer the phones. Mandatory weekends, and monthly changes to schedule with only 2 weeks notice which leads to a bad work/life balance.
