Pros

Located right off the beach.

Cons

Not much room for growth internally. Not gauranteed a good bonus which is equivalent to half my monthly income most months: earnings were input based on $1,000/month in commission but can be as low at $300 on a slow month.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We truly value the insights from our team members as they help us understand where we can improve and better support our staff. We're sorry to hear that you feel there isn't much room for growth internally. Career development is a priority for us, and we are actively working on creating more opportunities for advancement within the company. We encourage you to discuss your career aspirations with your manager or HR so we can help identify potential pathways and development programs that align with your goals. Regarding your concerns about the variability of bonuses, we understand how challenging it can be when commission-based income fluctuates. While the nature of sales as a Vacation Planner can lead to variable earnings, we strive to provide a supportive environment that helps our Guest Services team achieve their targets consistently. We are continually reviewing our compensation and bonus structures to ensure they are both competitive and fair. If you have specific suggestions on how we can improve in these areas, we would love to hear them. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us create a better working environment for everyone.

Pros

Ocean is 2 blocks away

Cons

The worst company I ever worked for. Team managed by people who have no idea what they are doing. Culture is based of constant and chronical fear of employees of being fired because every month you hear someone was let go for no obvious reason. Then you have employees that you know do nothing and nothing happens to them. People are let go within 30 mins. Others leave themselves, because there are so many better companies around. VPs are watching movies on youtube and noone cares. Accounting constantly makes mistakes in your pay checks and when you bring it to her attention she would make it sound like it is your fault. Very rude and unpleasant person. Offices are just warehouse for all the property managers. You literally trip over boxes of furniture all the time. Bad, bad, bad company.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave a review. We appreciate your feedback! We use manager check-ins, department meetings, monthly manager meetings and annual company meetings as communication channels for team members to discuss ideas, suggest improvements and talk through challenges they’re experiencing. I am sorry to hear did you not feel comfortable utilizing one of these avenues to discuss some of your frustrations and allow us an opportunity to improve. We pride ourselves on being a family-run business and, in turn, try our best to maintain a culture where our team members feel like family. I’m sorry to hear that was not your experience and we will take your feedback into serious consideration.
