Pros

I just finished the last training class and was moved to the sales floor this week. My first day on the sales floor the one girl next to me sold 3 and the person on the other side of me sold 2. Both made almost $500 for the day! I see the opportunities here to make a good living and career!

Cons

Cold calling, you are calling previous vacationeers introducing them to the company and attempting to sell them their next vacation. So you do need sales skills to succeed.

Pros

I worked for this company since they opened their doors as a agent. I took a brief medical leave absence. I have never ever worked for a company that cared so much about my health and allowed me the time to recover. I was able to work from home since they opened. The compensation was outstanding for the amount of hours that I worked. I see other reviews complain about the number of hours, but obviously this is a sales position, if you are not selling you can't make much money. I earned $82,650.67 in my first year. I have nothing but praise for this company as they stood by me until I was no longer able to work due to medical orders.

Cons

Hiring inexperienced sales people who say they know how to sell. When I worked in the offices I sat next to a few of them, and most of them couldn't sell ice to an eskimo.

Pros

I liked a few of the people I worked with.

Cons

You aren't paid what they make it sounds like. You HAVE to be logged onto your dialer to get paid. Even if you take a restroom break you aren't getting paid. The hours are actually shorter than you think. You have to come in an hour and a half early if you want to get close to a 40 hour work week. When I got my first paycheck it bounced and I was charged NSF fees that they wouldn't pay me for. Management yells at you in front of everyone else and puts you down in front of others. Very unprofessional. They expect you to sell a vacation collection to anyone regardless of their situation. Even if an elderly person who can't travel anymore, or if it is someone who is going through cancer, someone who had a dearth in the family, or they are living on social security. Management even says if they don't travel try to get a sell that they can give to someone else as a gift. It's very cut throat and disrespectful. Their slogan inside the office is "buyers are liars". This company isn't even listed with the BBB. This should have been my first sign. Worse place I've ever worked. If you don't make your sales quota in the first month you are fired. They won't let you come to the office and pick up your check. They say it's company policy. Even if you return your headset, and training materials upon leaving the company, you will still be charged $125.00.
