Pros

Made a few good friends but we ALL quit

Cons

Although the first hand manager is spectacular, one manager can not control an entire company... First off, note that this is a SALES position. It is commissioned based, which is fine, but the metrics that are set in play for marketers are next to impossible to meet. The “training” is next to a joke and the “team” is cut throat. You’re working for yourself so be prepared to have your “coworker/lead” stab you at any given chance. They will go over the pay metrics in the interview/onboarding but it’s so vague. You are believed to think that you’re getting paid, but even if you think you had a good week at booking people and they buy during their sales presentation, you won’t see a penny... again, even if you do YOUR JOB at sending up people to the sales but still don’t meet your minimum percentage, again... you will NOT get paid. For the ones you booked. The “learning curve” is like 3 months being paid at minimum wage so be prepared to have a savings and to blow through that. This is a position that is put in place to fill a gap and saying a high turnover rate is an understatement.

Pros

If you last long enough you can take advantage of some good travel deals. You get decent benefits at a reasonable price almost immediately.

Cons

The job itself (CMA) is getting people to take timeshare tours at the Camlin in Seattle. You get stuck at all sorts of outdoor or indoor kiosks the management cannot even stock with the materials do do your job. The management is pretty ineffective and has no idea of how to communicate. You do not get an email address so they use text messaging to communicate. You get your schedule for the next week on a Friday morning so planning a life is nearly impossible, and you never know when your days off are. They claim you can make a good paycheck. I know many at Wyndham in this position do. However, you need good offers (which Seattle did not have) and good locations which there were not enough of to make the bonus levels. People came for one day and left, the turnover is likely nearly 100% per quarter. If you want minimum wage for a few weeks go for it. If you want a real career this is not the place. If you are any good as a CMA you should go elsewhere and use those talents for more money!
