Pros

If you last long enough you can take advantage of some good travel deals. You get decent benefits at a reasonable price almost immediately.

Cons

The job itself (CMA) is getting people to take timeshare tours at the Camlin in Seattle. You get stuck at all sorts of outdoor or indoor kiosks the management cannot even stock with the materials do do your job. The management is pretty ineffective and has no idea of how to communicate. You do not get an email address so they use text messaging to communicate. You get your schedule for the next week on a Friday morning so planning a life is nearly impossible, and you never know when your days off are. They claim you can make a good paycheck. I know many at Wyndham in this position do. However, you need good offers (which Seattle did not have) and good locations which there were not enough of to make the bonus levels. People came for one day and left, the turnover is likely nearly 100% per quarter. If you want minimum wage for a few weeks go for it. If you want a real career this is not the place. If you are any good as a CMA you should go elsewhere and use those talents for more money!

Pros

Coworkers were amazing, we had a lot of fun and genuinely enjoyed talking with people. It was great to help visitors have an amazing vacation in a town I love.

Cons

Marketers from larger locations would come in to help "boost" our sign-ups by encouraging we lie directly to the owner/guest. Each had their own trick and "new thing" that wasn't really new, if not completely fake. My team valued honesty, and did not want to stoop below our morals. Also, once we were all meeting goals for owner/non-owner sign ups, they bumped up the percentages needed to stay employed. Which resulted in half the team getting fired, and the other half quit since it wasn't going to be the same.
