Great Benefits, Poor Management - Sales Assistant Holiday Inn Club Vacations Employee Review

Pros

There are many great benefits to working here - good (albeit expensive) health insurance coverage, 401k, a points system that rewards you for doing well, hotel discounts.

Cons

Corporate doesn't seem to care much about repairing its older properties, instead favoring expansion of newer ones and refusing to address issues with preexisting resorts. The Lake O' The Woods resort, for example, has been shut down for over a year, and though it seems to be the preferred destination for many guests that pass through, Holiday Inn has made no moves to restore it. I've seen hundreds of complaint forms filled out by guests who enter their unit only to find it dirty, or dysfunctional in some way. TVs don't work; Showers don't work; bedbug infestations. We had a guest come in covered from head to toe in bedbug bites, and though their room was fumigated, it shouldn't have been an issue to begin with. And though I was promised a full time position, I've gotten under 25 hours each week for the past month because if there are no tours scheduled, Sales Assistants aren't allowed to come in. Not even to organize files, or shred unneeded documents. All I've gotten is an excuse that it's 'slow season'. I've had to use PTO weekly so I can make rent at the end of the month. It's infuriating.

Pros

You get exposure to different sales styles, personalities, and ways of handling guests. Some coworkers and leaders were genuinely supportive and wanted to see people improve. It can be a good place to build and learn how to think on your feet. The earning potential is there for the right person and the team environment itself can be fun and energetic at times.

Cons

Training and coaching experiences can vary depending on leadership style. Success often depends not only on effort, but also on access to mentorship, tour volume, and real-time guidance. Communication and expectations between departments did not always feel fully aligned, which at times created confusion around development and performance goals. During slower seasons, limited tour flow can also make it difficult for newer representatives to build consistency and momentum.
