We appreciate you sharing your feedback regarding your experience working for Railbookers. Obviously, we are concerned that a current employee of ours is this displeased with their role and sees zero pros of working for us even after being employed for more than two years. It is our hope that everyone on our staff feels both valued and finds purpose in their work. If you’re not comfortable confronting your direct supervisor, have you made an effort to contact Human Resources to discuss these concerns? Your feedback would be helpful in both resolving such complaints as well as to further educate and train supervisors on management techniques. Regarding the shifts our agents are scheduled for, they include (at the latest) a 7 p.m. finish and include one Saturday a month to assist during peak periods. For a call centre, this is not unreasonable and is pretty standard industry-wide. This goes for our commission structure as well, which rewards consistent performers. Currently, seven of the eight supervisors and managers on our staff have been employed with the company for more than two years and have been promoted from within the call centre. It is apparent that they’ve not only thrived from the training they received but also the performance management and the supportive structure Railbookers provides. As a company, we believe in our mission-driven company culture. That’s why we provide career advancement and awesome perks for those who not only have the ambition and drive but those who demonstrate leadership traits, regardless of their position. The atmosphere in the office is tremendously positive, especially as of late following the exciting announcement of this year’s FAM trips. These trips are all-expenses paid experiences that each staff member gets to participate in—as long as the employee has been with the company for a minimum of four months prior to the trip’s start date and is in good standing. Again, we sincerely thank you for your feedback and are disappointed to hear how unhappy you are in your current role. At Railbookers, we aim to foster an environment of transparency and honesty and hope you can approach the appropriate party to voice your concerns so that we may address them.

Pros

• Opportunity to build knowledge of luxury rail travel itineraries • Some team members are friendly, supportive, and genuinely love travel • Comprehensive training provided at the start of employment • Commission structure can be rewarding for high performers • Fast-paced environment that may suit highly independent, competitive individuals • Office space is well set up with good facilities • Exposure to international destinations and customer service scenarios

Cons

High-pressure sales culture with strict KPIs and performance scrutiny • Micromanagement is common — little autonomy or trust in staff decisions • Concerns raised by staff are often dismissed or reframed as performance issues • Poor psychological safety: little support for neurodivergent staff or those needing accommodations • Termination processes lack transparency and consistency • Culture of favoritism and internal cliques • Little opportunity for progression unless aligned with inner circles • Feedback is not always welcomed or acted on constructively • HR appears to prioritise company image over staff wellbeing • Diversity and inclusion are surface-level; no real framework for equitable treatment • Unrealistic expectations and shifting sales goals lead to burnout • Lack of clarity and consistency in management communication • Staff who express mental health concerns may be viewed as “difficult” • High turnover suggests systemic issues with staff retention and support And lastly a HIGH revolving door culture, they’re always hiring new staff, groups of 10 and 1 or 2 would stay beyond 3 months if not terminated or scrutinised

Pros

There is strong earning potential in this role, provided you are able to meet or exceed sales targets.

Cons

The current KPIs for this inbound call center position seem unrealistic, especially considering the nature of the work. Fluctuations in business volume are often beyond our control, yet expectations remain consistently high. This creates undue pressure on employees and can lead to job insecurity when targets are not met, even though external factors may be the primary cause of the shortfall.

Thank you for your feedback. We strive to maintain high standards to provide excellent service, and we understand the importance of adjusting expectations when external factors impact performance. We continually review our KPIs to ensure a fair and supportive environment for our employees while encouraging growth and improvement. It's worth noting that over 90% of our sales team is in good standing, and we've seen impressive achievements, like an Account Executive meeting goals consistently for 52 weeks. These successes inspire us, and we hope they motivate others as well. Your feedback is valuable, and we're grateful for your contributions during your time with us. If you wish to provide further feedback, please feel free to contact me or anyone in our HR department at 949-876-6747 or at Hr@railbookers.com to discuss. Thank you, Ja’Net McGhee- Employee Engagement Manager
