Pros

Easy to make over 100k in your second year here (still working 40 hours a week). Most don't give it that much time, hence the negative reviews. Good training program. Management is a mixed bag, some great, some incompetent, but that's everywhere. Travel perks are amazing. If you're going to apply be aware of your phone voice and diction as that comes across on the phone. All leads are inbound and mostly pre-qualified.

Cons

Not a lot of culture. Bad schedules when you first start. You have to earn your schedule. Only closed Christmas and Thanksgiving. Some team managers micro-manage. Call center environment but better pay and perks than most.

Pros

Some travel benefits, but the company keeps most and awards them as prizes.

Cons

I worked at VTG for about a year and I never met the owner of the company - he's on cruise-line sponsored vacations throughout the year. The president has his own "clique" and you're not in it! I never saw him on the floor while working there either. When the Sr. Director of Cruises left (a tenured and very well-liked member of management), the president sent out a one-line email offering no positive comments. Department management is usually given to anyone who will take the position - it's certainly not based upon people skills or educational attainment. You are hired as part of a "training class" and fed into the various departments at completion. Upon arrival in the department, the tenured people told our class to look for a job immediately - they all had their resumes out. Our class of sixteen (March 2013) has three people still employed there. It is a revolving door - three new training classes are constantly running through new hire training. All of the floors have various "lunch rooms" where most people bring their food for the day because most employees can't afford to eat out. Don't drink too much while you're working though - there's so many people packed into the departments that there's generally a wait to use the bathroom. If you work a late shift, you will be walking through a dark, open (not fenced-in) parking lot late at night. Bring a can of mace or other protection. Work here as a last resort...
