Pros

I used to have pros before Covid but not anymore. This company has changed drastically and not for the better. Do yourself a favor and apply elsewhere.

Cons

They have unachievable and contradicting metrics that you just cant maintain. They are: - 2 sales a day within 90 days(which is entirely too much considering the amount of employees to sales ratio) - Survey score of 80% or better (if anyone gives you anything other than an excellent score then it drops almost 10% then it takes an ungodly amount of excellent scores to make up that one bad one) - Assist to sales needs to be below a certain percentage (you get hit when you are off of work or on vacation. If customer care even touches your clients booking then you get a hit for it even when your off or on vacation) - Closing rate needs to be high (So you need to take alot of calls and make sure you close a certain percentage of them) These are very contradicting alot of the times. If you take alot of calls then you will have alot of clients calling back but then customer care might get some which will hit one of the metrics. Then if you dont take alot of calls then but dont close then your closing rate get hit. This company is a lose lose scenario They do NOT care about their employees and see you just as a number. They will write you up in an instant if one of those metrics even gets hit. DO NOT WORK HERE

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value all feedback, including constructive criticism, as it helps us identify areas for improvement. We are sorry to hear about your negative experience with the metrics at Vacations To Go. We understand that the metrics you mentioned, such as sales targets, survey scores, assist to sales ratio, and closing rates, can be challenging to meet and may sometimes seem contradictory. It's important to note that the purpose of these metrics is to drive growth and ensure the success of both our employees and the company as a whole. While we strive to set ambitious goals, we also understand that achieving them can be demanding. We regularly review our metrics to ensure they are fair and attainable. This is a high-volume sales role and averaging 2 sales per day is the minimum requirement to help employees reach their financial goals. Regarding the survey scores, we recognize the importance of feedback from our customers, and we continuously work to address any issues raised. We also encourage our employees to provide exceptional service to every customer, aiming for excellent scores consistently. Scores are averaged from the number of responses submitted which affects percentages. At VTG, we genuinely care about our employees' well-being and strive to create a positive work environment. We believe that our employees are more than just numbers, and their contributions are highly valued. We appreciate your insights and will take them into account as we continue to evaluate and refine our metrics and performance evaluation processes.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We are proud to offer uncapped commissions because they create strong earning potential, and we recognize that metrics alone do not define a great employee experience. While we do have consistent minimum expectations for all sales agents, most of our team regularly surpasses them, with team managers there to support, encourage, and coach agents toward success. We also want to clarify that our recent wave season was more in line with the past couple of record-breaking years. Most importantly, we put employees first. We do not allow clients to mistreat agents, and our Customer Care and Customer Support leadership teams actively step in during difficult client situations to ensure employees feel supported, respected, and backed by leadership.
