      Pros

      I enjoyed the office environment. I learned a lot in a little time. I was there to help in the busy season. They provided good training for the tasks I was expected to do.

      Cons

      Their lack of communication and lack of proper management was a bust. They did not provide lay off letters for me despite being laid off due to COVID 19. The manner of which I was laid off was completely unprofessional, and random. I was promised possibilities of advancement, and despite doing my job effectively, they did not care. They do not care about their employees.

      Thank you for your comments, and it is nice to hear you received good training. In terms of the handling of your and others’ layoff, we provided all staff incurring such an unfortunate situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic with all the necessary information for COBRA and unemployment insurance filing. We also advised all staff that should they wish to receive a letter of recommendation, resume review, or any other assistance when looking for another position, that we were there for them to provide such assistance. YLG has an exemplary record of promoting staff from within the organization, so the possibilities of advancement are real. Unfortunately, those possibilities were not available once we went into the downturn resulting from COVID-19. The layoffs were a necessary move in order to maintain the best position possible for YLG going through such a once in a lifetime occurrence. They weren’t because we don’t care about our employees. In fact, quite the opposite as we saved as many positions as we possibly could. But it is good to get your feedback and we wish you all the best as we all try to get through this pandemic. Feel free to reach out to me directly if I can help you out in your job search in any way. Regards, Michael Kidd V.P. Finance

      Pros

      Remote. Hourly + Commission. Health Benefits.

      Cons

      High performance metrics were not the primary factor in employment decisions. Leadership communication was inconsistent and lacked transparency. Policies prioritizing customer satisfaction leaves you feeling undervalued and used. Rapid operational changes occasionally impacted team stability. Goals and priorities were sometimes ambiguous and would change suddenly without explanation. Organizational changes created confusion and conflict to the work culture. Inconsistent enforcement of policies and standards. Constant increase to work load with no additional scheduled time to complete new assigned tasks. Management is mostly comprised of individuals who failed as successful Account Executives but got moved up to management. They impose unrealistic expectations that they themselves couldn't keep. You aren't just selling Rail Vacations you are teaching customers about how train travel works on the phone, this leads to very long phone calls and over time. Website pricing is misleading which leads to a lot of mad customers calling in taking it out of the people that answer the phones. Mandatory weekends, and monthly changes to schedule with only 2 weeks notice which leads to a bad work/life balance.
