Thank you for your post and I am sorry to hear how you feel. There seems to be a disconnect from the general comments you list below with who we are as an organization. With four offices (London, Beverly, Laguna Hills and now Sydney Australia, as well as over 100+ staff) I want to let you know that I do care, and I welcome the opportunity to speak to you directly. I have to say I am surprised to read this feedback, as we just had our 2018 Mid-Year Update where I presented to each office and every staff member an update on the company, and we had break-out sessions on what was working and what can we improve on. Everyone gave great, honest feedback on what we do well, particularly about the open communication, opportunities and welcoming atmosphere at our company. I do want to mention that I question if you work for YLG as we have seen a pattern of negative posts that always seem to come in right after we receive a positive post. When we responded to those former negative posts asking for the opportunity to have a dialog, and expressing that we would re-post in a week if that person reached out, the post was then deleted from Glassdoor, including our response, which seems unusual. Even in light of this, I would like the opportunity to hear YOUR concerns directly and even work with you to solve them, as you list you are a current staff member. I am willing to listen and help either way. Let’s get a dialog going! Sincerely, Frank Marini President Internal Ext- 1109 I will be re-posting in a week to update all if you called or not as I feel being honest and transparent is the best way to be. Thanks UPDATE ... It has been a week and, unfortunately, you have not attempted to reach out. I was looking forward to connecting with you to honestly and openly discuss the concerns you addressed in your review. However, my invitation stands and I’ll welcome your call anytime.

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.
