Pros

-Great opportunity for growth. -A growing company that is looking to listen and work on things and implement ideas based on employee feedback. -Right now in this stage the company is in a positive state; some growing pains with being a small company is that you get used to sticking with some things that just don’t work until you get people, or systems that make a change. -Open door policy is pretty good with all levels of management and even HR that everyone seems to say doesn’t exist (it does). -Free trip every year where you travel to places that you probably would have never seen in your life. -Very open to referrals and they do not hold you accountable for that referred employees actions. -Honesty and transparency all around. -service awards that came out at this years kick off.

Cons

-Pay, as in every job, seems like it’s not enough, but can’t complain based on other benefits and opportunities. -a lot of people leave before they get to experience the best benefit we have (fam trip).need to do a better job preventing that. -A lot of toxic people come through and stay for a little.., stay for a while.. and it ends up not being helpful for either parties when those people part ways with company. -Some system things are super manual.

We appreciate your valuable feedback. As a rapidly growing company, employee feedback is central to our success, which is why we encourage openness and transparency with our open door policy. At YLG, we believe in rewarding our staff appropriately—as you mention with our annual service awards and all expenses paid FAM trips. You make a great point. We care about continuously making our company a great place to work. That’s why we’re currently, and aggressively, rolling out new initiatives to discover talent that aligns with our ethos and culture. Additionally, we are currently cross-training our staff and are always looking to promote high-achieving employees from within. Regarding your advice to management, your comments indicate that there could be some improvements made here. Your suggestions have been noted and we will certainly look to improve those concerns in the future.

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.
