We appreciate you sharing your feedback regarding your experience working for Railbookers. Obviously, we are concerned that a current employee of ours is this displeased with their role and sees zero pros of working for us even after being employed for more than two years. It is our hope that everyone on our staff feels both valued and finds purpose in their work. If you’re not comfortable confronting your direct supervisor, have you made an effort to contact Human Resources to discuss these concerns? Your feedback would be helpful in both resolving such complaints as well as to further educate and train supervisors on management techniques. Regarding the shifts our agents are scheduled for, they include (at the latest) a 7 p.m. finish and include one Saturday a month to assist during peak periods. For a call centre, this is not unreasonable and is pretty standard industry-wide. This goes for our commission structure as well, which rewards consistent performers. Currently, seven of the eight supervisors and managers on our staff have been employed with the company for more than two years and have been promoted from within the call centre. It is apparent that they’ve not only thrived from the training they received but also the performance management and the supportive structure Railbookers provides. As a company, we believe in our mission-driven company culture. That’s why we provide career advancement and awesome perks for those who not only have the ambition and drive but those who demonstrate leadership traits, regardless of their position. The atmosphere in the office is tremendously positive, especially as of late following the exciting announcement of this year’s FAM trips. These trips are all-expenses paid experiences that each staff member gets to participate in—as long as the employee has been with the company for a minimum of four months prior to the trip’s start date and is in good standing. Again, we sincerely thank you for your feedback and are disappointed to hear how unhappy you are in your current role. At Railbookers, we aim to foster an environment of transparency and honesty and hope you can approach the appropriate party to voice your concerns so that we may address them.

Pros

First and foremost, the people at RBG are what make it such a great place to work. The team is passionate, supportive, and genuinely enjoys what they do. Everyone works hard, but there's also a strong culture of having fun and celebrating successes together. RBG does an excellent job of fostering a collaborative, team-oriented environment. Even though we work remotely, which is another fantastic perk, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with colleagues through clubs like cooking, running, gaming, and more. These groups make it easy to build relationships with team members across the organization. And, of course, working in the travel industry is an exciting bonus. Being part of a company that helps create memorable travel experiences makes the work even more rewarding.

Cons

If fast-paced is not for you, RBG may not be your best fit.

Pros

Remote. Hourly + Commission. Health Benefits.

Cons

High performance metrics were not the primary factor in employment decisions. Leadership communication was inconsistent and lacked transparency. Policies prioritizing customer satisfaction leaves you feeling undervalued and used. Rapid operational changes occasionally impacted team stability. Goals and priorities were sometimes ambiguous and would change suddenly without explanation. Organizational changes created confusion and conflict to the work culture. Inconsistent enforcement of policies and standards. Constant increase to work load with no additional scheduled time to complete new assigned tasks. Management is mostly comprised of individuals who failed as successful Account Executives but got moved up to management. They impose unrealistic expectations that they themselves couldn't keep. You aren't just selling Rail Vacations you are teaching customers about how train travel works on the phone, this leads to very long phone calls and over time. Website pricing is misleading which leads to a lot of mad customers calling in taking it out of the people that answer the phones. Mandatory weekends, and monthly changes to schedule with only 2 weeks notice which leads to a bad work/life balance.
