Pros

Just back from a trip with six work colleagues - an Amtrak rail journey from Chicago to Seattle with a stay in Glacier National Park. Amazing experience , great scenery , good fun . Not only a free trip, but got paid at the same time, and did not have to use my own holiday days. A great perk of working for Railbookers.

Cons

The trip was not long enough to see everything I would have liked, so 'll have to go back.

Pros

- All Employee's despite which area of work you are in, each employee gets the opportunity to travel to one of the selling destinations- This is called a ' Familiarisation Trip' - This is the way to experience what we sell and moreover what our customer experiences & truly enjoys. All expenses are paid and it's an additional 'holiday' provided. by the company. - Friendly Staff - A warm, vibrant environment to work in If you get the chance to work here, Would highly recommend it!

Cons

Been here for many months and its going great!

Pros

Those with an interest in Railways will enjoy the process of piecing together itineraries. Though there are targets, you are not under huge pressure to meet/exceed these.

Cons

*Very Heavy workload with no additional pay for inevitable overtime. *Very limited career progression opportunities. *Top Heavy and culture of nepotism, despite the small size of the company, a large number of directors hold redundant positions but are clearly very well paid. Some of the most senior positions are held by people with no experience in the industry. This stems largely from the Company being family-owned, hence the best positions are kept within the family. This is likely to stunt the company's prospects in terms of long-term growth. *Stale, corporate environment with 1950s style management practices. *Poor pay and commission, even for travel. *Lack of ethics toward customers. Very high-mark-ups on packages and unnecessary profiteering.
