Pros

Some vacation perks. Classic does provide a lot of travel rewards, so if you are lucky enough to receive one you will stay at some of the most amazing properties and locations in the world. Good PTO/Vacation benefits, as well as some other Expedia perks, but nothing that most larger companies don't also offer, so could be more competitive There is often free catered lunches, provided by partners The CEO is pretty good. He is accessible to anyone in the company and has a fairly open-door policy which is refreshing. You will often see him mingling about the call center, being quite jovial with staff. If you are looking for something right of college or a job that doesn't require a lot of education, this is a good place to work for a short time, then move on.

Cons

Rampant cronyism and unaccountable leadership team No upward mobility/extremely limited career advancement Low compensation packages Very little to no innovation/resistant to change/new ideas

Pros

Supportive, Growth-Oriented Culture with True Work-Life Balance As a Business Development Manager at Classic Vacations, I’ve found the company to be an incredibly supportive and inspiring place to grow professionally. The culture is open, inclusive, and genuinely welcoming from leadership to operations, and there’s a strong sense of team synergy and mutual respect. Work-life balance is not just encouraged here; it’s embedded in the culture. Classic understands that thriving at work means having time and space outside of it, which makes a significant difference in morale and productivity. What truly sets Classic apart is its commitment to equity, inclusion, and internal advancement. There are multiple pathways to grow within the organization, and leadership is genuinely receptive to employee input. Management is not only accessible but actively welcomes feedback and embraces change, creating space for innovation and fresh ideas. The level of cross-departmental collaboration is one of the best I’ve experienced. It’s a company where every voice is heard and where professional development is truly a shared goal.

Cons

Some systems could be more integrated to improve workflow efficiency across departments. With growth, internal communication can occasionally lag — more consistent cross-team updates would help. Pace of change can be slow due to layered approval processes, though intentions are strong.
