Interval International Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Interval International full-time for more than a year

Pros – Interval is ran like a big family and despite being a global company, most employees are extremely nice and welcoming. Excellent human resources department.

Cons – Little paid time off. All free resort stays have to be approved by the managers and directors of each department so a lot of paperwork is involved. Some departments are clearly overstaffed while others are seriously understaffed. Circle of excellence awards are only given to call center staff even though there are other employees from other departments who work far harder.

Advice to Senior Management – Learn how to fairly recognize the hard work and dedication of employees.

Former Employee – worked at Interval International full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – The people are great to work with
Corporate involvement in community is ongoing and very supportive.
Can build pleasant working relationship with international employees which helps with your development.

Cons – Alot of work in some departments so there seems that more personnel are needed to perform the work and this may highly impact employee turnover.
Everyone wants you to respond to their request, today, when you have to prioritize what must be done today.

Advice to Senior Management – Compile and study exit interviews to determine reasons employees leave then rank and rate them in order to see what the corporation needs to do, if anything, to keep talented employees and reduce employee turnover.

Former Employee – worked at Interval International full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – As a developer at interval you have exposure to most of the new java technology stack and frameworks from Java Spring Framework to working on Grails... Its a full enterprise stack w backend legacy connectivity w also a new backend ORM solution w middle tier web services as well as a frontend MVC with all the tech buzzwords in java you can think of. Its a great place to work whereas you may get remote capabilities, many vacation days off, resort benefits and more... It may be a place where you get complacent and comfortable eventually... So try to keep on top of your game and you will do fine.

Cons – Sometimes management forgets to promote, reward, show value, motivate, help grow and recognize those loyal to the business... They dont mean to, but it happens as they have many things to attend to due to the company being a publicly traded company.

Advice to Senior Management – Remember to cherish what you have and make a growth plan for those that embrace the company. As you once were at the beginning, help those achieve success to the top.

Current Employee – been working at Interval International

Pros – - Excellent Vacation Paid Time Off Benefits
- Free Resort Stays Benefits
- 401k % Match
- Remote Work Exceptions
- Great Colleagues
- Embrace New Technology

Cons – - Make sure to negotiate before you work there, raises are very slow.

- Management is not working fast enough to give increases to underpaid resources
- Consultants are given too much power and opportunities (more than perm employees)

Advice to Senior Management – - Need to show better appreciation of employees (you seem to show appreciation only when the employees are on the way out the door. If you appreciate the resource, why not answer expressed concerns before they leave instead of waiting till they leave).

- Training needed more often

- Should offer stock options to all employees. Why not encourage employees to buy shares and have them feel vested?

- Allow technology professionals to be Remote more often. (save on overhead)

Current Employee – been working at Interval International

Pros – Havent been in a while but the benefits are good if you dont mind working for minimum wage. Your given a great pep talk whn your hired.

Cons – They have you work awful hours and torment the same people over and over again. Then the commission is never obtainable (I made first payout once, only like $200) and you make all this money for this company and no commission check. Your like a hamster in a wheel. All lies and stories of it's gonna get better and they just hire more people. Horrible experience glad I'm out of there

Advice to Senior Management – Pay more and make commission goals real!!!!

Management treating employees poorly

Advice to Senior Management – 1. Treat your employees better - more carrot, less stick
