Pros

Good medical benefits and travel benefits. Nice new office location. Good income if you are corrupt.

Cons

Corrupt supervisors. Only a select group of agents get quality inbound calls. Management can change how many calls you get, where the calls come from and the frequency of the incoming calls. The agents who produce the most pay the supervisors under the table for these preferred campaigns and skill sets. Many supervisors (all but one are male) have affairs with top producing female reps and several are married men. The rules apply to some, not all and favoritism is a huge negative factor. Drugs and alcohol used extensively by leadership. Very poor training. Supervisors only help a few agents (the ones who are paying them under the table). Very unprofessional language and bullying from a few supervisors in inbound. The more you pay the supervisor, the greater chance of success monetarily. Top producers never use the word "timeshare" though that is what we are trying to sell. When upper management approached about this, they avoid the topic and ignore. Different rules for different agents. Discrimination is at a high. HR doesn't have a clue and inept. The reason there are so many ads placed is because we can't keep agents. Upper management has no idea what happens in the call center. There is so much dishonesty and corruption. This company has a bad reputation in the timeshare industry. An internal investigation needs to take place and leadership terminated and replaced with honest and ethical employees. Orange Lake pays too high a salary to management compared to the industry in Orlando. Greed creates more greed. Not a good place to work but I am forced to stay. Good people leave and the dishonest remain, Upper management needs to clean house.

Pros

If you want the facade of a fake family this is the place to work. Management has been taught in their own meetings how to groom and manipulate low level staff (i have seen the training materials) and they are very good at it. They think that by saying that everyone is family that they can get people to stay but people soon figure out the facade.

Cons

This company is on a downward trajectory. They're technology is decades old they simply don't have the resources as their competitors and they will have to sell and be absorbed by larger company so you can expect layoffs and more consolidation which just burns out people. Also many things they do and the way the Way they handle certain things causes money to just flow out the door. These things have been brought to the attention of management but they ignore the sieve of money leaving the company because they're embarrassed it may be seen as their responsibility and it really is. Most of the managers don't even know how to run many of these old and new systems. They definitely don't abide by the rule that the manager should know the specific way a job is done with their underlings. Most of them would not be able to take over the job of a low-level staff member. Also there are 0 SOPs. The best you will find is ancient SOPs from the year 2000 to 2015, years outdated and most of the time on systems that are not even used anymore. Management spends more time dumping their work on lower level employees so that they can be freed up for more meetings in which they spend most of their time just joking around and not accomplishing any work. Trust me I've seen it all.
