Pros

Pays well, including an annual bonus. Good benefits.

Cons

WVO corporate headquarters promotes a toxic and unprofessional environment. Those that come from other companies who are true professionals and try to do the right thing are kept back from advancement due to senior management's insecurity. Incompetence, lack of knowledge and lack of managerial training is immediately obvious. People spend the majority of their time pointing fingers at one another and accomplishing nothing - this is done by design so there is no accountability. There is no one to turn to - not even Human Resources because they don't have a clue and their methodologies are decades old. The people that remain are ineffective but they are there because they are really good at one thing: playing politics. Mostly, the Product Development staff is unethical, unscrupulous and not at all dedicated to the peak performance of the company. Decisions are based on favoritism. It is acceptable for the procurement team to sleep with vendors, take bribes and accept gifts that have no limits. There is no procurement protocol. All they do is travel and party, party, party - all on the company's dime. I just have three words to say to the investors: sell, sell, sell! Sooner or later WVO will come tumbling down as they don't have a strong management team to support the pillars.

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.
