Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your loyalty to Vacations To Go through the years. We are so happy to know that you enjoy your work environment, management and coworkers and that you’re taking advantage of the provided leads and unlimited income! As with most companies, the best schedules are given to those employees with the longest tenure. We know that working holidays can be disappointing so as compensation, we give extra vacation days to anyone willing to work a holiday, and also approve schedule changes to help with work-life balance. We are also currently working on a solution that will allow all employees working weekends to have at least one weekend day off each week. Thank you again for your kind words. We appreciate the service you have given to us and our customers over the last few years, and look forward to many more years working together.

Thank you for your positive feedback! We are pleased to hear that there are so many aspects of your job that you enjoy. We work hard to create a positive, casual environment that fosters good working relationships and unlimited earning potential. As you mentioned, we have changed our hours so that we close earlier and are working to move agents to shifts where they only work one weekend day. We appreciate the time that you took to leave your feedback and are thankful that you’re enjoying being part of the team!

Pros

None I can think of!

Cons

They throw so much at you in a 2 week period that no one can retain 10% of the training. Then they expect you to be ready to get out of training in a month not 4 months. The 4 month training period is told to you over and over. They also tell you that they are going to help you until you understand the process. That is a LIE! They fired me after 4 weeks. They treat their employees like dirt. I got nothing but a real good lesson about not ever wasting my time again. They appear so caring and then you find out that is just a front!

Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry to hear that your time at Vacations To Go was such a disappointment. We want every new travel counselor to be successful and graduate from training, and do understand it takes time to adjust to selling a new product and working in a new environment. This is exactly why we devote a significant amount of time and resources to training our newest employees. However, during the four-month training period, we do expect new travel counselors to make progress, and we check-in regularly with them to give feedback, answer questions and provide one-on-one coaching. Extra support and training are always available to agents who aren’t thriving or hitting our training benchmarks. In these rare instances, the travel counselor is regularly informed of their standing with the company and are made aware of the requirements they must meet to move beyond training. I am truly sorry your employment with us didn’t work out – it is a loss for everyone involved when we have to part ways, but we are confident that you will find a position that is a great fit for you.
