Pros

I started working with YLG as part of an outside company, but was never treated as an outsider. Once I began working here officially, the transition was seamless and I was treated like a longtime employee. The work is hard and at times frantic but at the same time is positively challenging and rewarding, especially if you have a positive, solutions-oriented attitude. Management is in tune with what is going on at all levels and is always open to change and improvement.

Cons

I would say that one of the main cons I can see is sometimes job functions don’t match with titles and sometimes it’s not clear who to go to for what.

Thank you so much for your kind words and honesty about your experience with YLG. I am happy to hear about the way you were treated when working outside and inside the company. Our rapid growth in the Travel industry over the last few years has indeed created some challenges, but has also resulted in opportunities for all. If there are no challenges in a company, I find that it usually means they are not growing or evolving. Thank you for your point on job functions not matching employees titles at times. This is an effect of our rapid growth and focus on cross-training all staff. We believe in a team work environment that has a direct focus on the customer. At certain times of the year, this means one department may need help another. This ensures not only that our customer gets the service they deserve, but also that our team gets cross trained and learns multiple skills. This helps our team members easily advance and get promoted. We have many staff come into our company in one role, but now run a completely different department they didn’t know anything about when they first started. With the cross training and team work environment, they have now found what they love (that is why I have been here for over 15 years!) In regards to your advice, we will always be on the lookout for great talent at all levels. Thank you again for your comments and for being part of our team! Deb Donahue HR Manager

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.
