Pros

Great co-workers who are fun to work with, intelligent, and very driven. The pay is good and the job comes with lots of perks like monthly happy hours, weekly free lunches, and soft drinks in the office.

Cons

Technology and tools are often unreliable which makes it hard to get my job done. Role is not well defined making it difficult to know how I am performing.

Pros

My co worker's on the phones were amazing. The pay is decent and free sodas and juice.

Cons

There has been too many changes and there is a lot a favoritism. They took away our monthly bonuses and what they are offering does not come close to what we should get. The Supervisors are never at work, always calling in, they seem to not get in trouble for not being at work. The whole atmosphere has changed, we can't even read a book at work.

Pros

If you're unbelievably good at telesales and enjoy a fast-paced work environment in which "positive thinking" and a cheerleader mentality win the day, you'll love it here and you will probably make good money. For those invested in the job, there are opportunities to move upward.

Cons

If you're an average-to-good telesaleperson, you'll make slightly above minimum wage, like most people here do. Success depends largely on ruthlessness and an "us versus them" approach to customer service. Whether or not you make commission depends on many different factors, a large percentage of which lie totally outside of your control. This has been especially true ever since they implemented a phone system that directs high-paying customers to high-selling salespeople, and low-paying customers to low-selling salespeople, resulting in a vicious circle. People are marked off for taking bathroom breaks outside of pre-allocated break times, regardless of whether or not they have notes from a doctor. There is a fake "cheerleader" atmosphere that many will find cloying and off-putting. The building itself can start to feel like a prison after a while, and you will be marked off for taking bathroom breaks outside of your pre-allocated break times, regardless of whether or not you have a doctor's note. Hotels.com are particularly bad at working with the disabled, refusing to assist those who have trouble walking with parking issues. Additionally, it's like pulling teeth to get them to accommodate the disabled with the necessary seating arrangements. Those with hearing problems will have to pay out of their own pockets to acquire a special headset. Finally, hotels.com are big fans of changing the terms of your contract without warning. Be very careful before agreeing to new terms.
