Pros
Demonstrated success... Classic Vacations started as a family-owned wholesale travel company over 30 years ago, that was purchased by Expedia in 2001, and has grown to be one of the most respected and award-winning companies in the travel industry. Over the last several years the company has doubled in size, and continues on that growth trajectory. Amazing Travel rewards ... within 6 months, you're eligible for hugely discounted insider rates at some of the world's most amazing resorts, plus the Reservations team is eligible for free training trips to Europe, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti, and lots more. In addition, we're always giving away fully-paid trips as prizes for all employees and you receive free Expedia "travel bucks" that increase the longer you stay with Classic. Award-winning ... year after year, consortia and hotel partners like AMEX, Signature and Virtuoso select Classic as their best, most customer focused partner in the industry. Walk into the lobby, and you'll see the awards lining the walls. Growth means Opportunity ... whether you are looking to work in Reservations, Customer Service, Marketing, Finance, Operations, Sales or IT we have it all under one roof here in San Jose. Since we're growing, it means that there are always opportunities to move within or between groups. In fact, I started my career at Classic in Finance, moved to Operations and am now managing the Reservations team. Comprehensive Training and Mentoring ... in every group, there folks committed to helping new hires learn the ropes quickly, and then teach them how to be successful over the long-run. For example, in Reservations we have 3-levels of mentor-ship: (1) we pair new folks with successful veterans, (2) conduct weekly 1:1's with dedicated sales coaching team, and (3) schedule ongoing training classes conducted by hotel, and industry partners like Four Seasons, Hyatt, Hilton, Starwood, Sandals, Marriott, AM Resorts, etc.
Cons
To be successful in the Reservations, you have to truly be willing to put in the time to learn and perfect your knowledge of some of the most fun, romantic, luxurious, and well-traveled destinations around the world.
