Dishonest leadership, too many managers, too many egos, not enough pay.
|
|
Travel is both a fun and interesting industry to work in. The industry focus on technology and customer experience allows for new ideas and innovation. Even at a "bad" company you will get a good feel for what's going right in the industry and meet some good people.
|
Pay is 50% below national average for similar jobs, pay is amongst the lowest in both travel and tech arenas and getting a raise is almost unheard of. Management refuses to invest in new staff, yes in a pinch they will hire to fill an empty spot, when absolutely necessary, but not to grow or to promote efficiency, prepare to be overworked and deal with constantly changing goals objectives (sometimes daily). That said the one group they really like to hire is Managers. It seems like we hired new "directors" "executives" or members of the C-Suite weekly. Leadership doesn't want your opinion, rather they prefer you put your head down and remain quiet. They don't listen to feedback or advice,in my experience, even when they ask your thoughts they are just looking for yes men. Your experience means nothing to them and they will go out of their way to discredit you if you don't back up their motives. This leads to the place being very Clique-ey, and full of politics, in fighting, misdirection and manipulation it's not a very happy work place. In general the company misses out on the authenticity, originality and good vibes that's promoted throughout the industry. This place is a case study in squandered potential.

You need more non management employees and less bosses. Hire quality/ skilled employees with original ideas and opinions not yes men who are just there to back up your individual political goals. Invest in your employees and pay them what they are worth.

Great company, Great people & Culture
|
|
Fun place to work, everyone from the CEO down to the interns are fun to be around and everyone really enjoys coming to work. Environment is really relaxed and there is always something going on. Wonderful place to work and really get some solid career experience.
|
Salaries are fair, just not a lot of upward growth opportunities.

Great company with awesome culture
|
|
Starts from the top top, the entire management team at VacationRoost is the best around. I have never worked for a better team. Free skiing and a very social environment make it easy to be friends with all the other employees. Casual work environment and most employees take advantage of the vacation product and services offered by the company.
|
Somewhat seasonal, so business can go up and down.

Work there if you have too, their heart only goes so far.
|
|
You like skiing and want to get lodging discounts, they have the capacity to be compassionate towards employee's, but only as far as it suites them.
|
Poor management and acquisitions, lack of vision and forward thinking. They prefer to bring in outsiders and duplicate resources vs. increasing areas that could truly benefit, and they are more worried about upper salaries than working to keep the company in business.
