Pros

Learning about amazing destinations! The salary was appealing. Made some nice friends (coworkers).

Cons

Rushed training, unorganized staffing, unrealistic goals (which I was unaware of), schedule change often, breaks and start time change without a bit of notice, friendly co-workers…but unable to get to know them at all. Cold environment! Left daily with so much stress and tension. Work life balance is obsolete. I was unaware I was forced to sell at the capacity in which we were made to. They expect you to be a jack of all trades (with little training) and master Of none. Even heard a manger say they group hire knowing they will whittle them down before 30 days on the floor. Asked for additional help and training and they said it wasn’t possible because there weren’t enough trainers. A bit a gut punch….but this is my opinion. I feel really bad for those who are leaving current employment for RB knowing the turnover rate is horrific. My class of 26 dwindled down to 8 in 30 days. I hope RB can do some internal adjustments, because this company and product could be an amazing opportunity. However their training department and systems are seriously lacking.

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.
