Pros

Remote work. The opportunity for decent money is there. You talk about vacations all day long.

Cons

Zero honesty or transparency about the job during the interview or training process. Once you’re “on the floor” you realize it’s a customer service role and not a sales role. The expectation is to work customer service during your work hours and work the sales piece off the clock. Search customer and travel agent reviews about booking with Railbookers.

Thank you for sharing your comments with us. As you mentioned, our fully-remote, work-from-home roles allow account executives to be successful financially while enjoying their work in the travel industry. This consistently ranks among the top feedback we hear from our staff as well as reasons why candidates are interested in joining us. In fact, many of our candidates become among our top performers shortly after completing our comprehensive training program. At Railbookers Group, our commitment to delivering exceptional service spans across 5 countries and 34 states, with a team of over 300 dedicated staff members. Our Account Executives play a crucial role in ensuring seamless experiences for our customers, from initial inquiry to travel arrangements, fostering long-term relationships along the way. This dedication to excellence defines the essence of being an Account Executive at Railbookers Group and contributes significantly to both their individual as well as the company’s success. We maintain transparency in our policies regarding work hours. While working “off the clock” is not condoned, there are opportunities for overtime approved by our Workforce Management team. We prioritize compensating employees for their time and ensuring fairness in scheduling practices. In short, if working beyond your scheduled shift is required, we want to ensure it is approved in advance, so you are paid for that time. If you are open to it, we’d like to get more information about your specific experience. Please feel free to contact me at 978-778-3440 to discuss. Thank you, Nick Kozlowski, Director – Railbookers Sales

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.
