Expedia-Cruises

What is the best part of working at the company?
This position was fantastic with clients. Make sure the franchise partners are in the business to help you & your clients not just their pockets.   The service fees were ridiculous & to line their pockets further.   Had to fight for commissions. 


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very little training. Owners that only want to pad their wallets & judged clients based on their vacation choices. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Co workers were supportive & helpful.  Owners push off everything as long as possible. ...to the point of losing clients. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dependant on time of year, busy & often overwhelming.

As an Independent Consultant Service, you will offer and sell cruises, related travel products, and services on behalf Expedia Cruise. It is a great opportunity for those people that would like to work by themselves, as the way that you will generate your salary is based on commissions. Expedia offers excellent courses that will help you to manage and understand the way each cruise line works, hotels, car reservations, and insurance. The support of the owner of the Franchise is amazing, at least in the center where I work. And the tools that Expedia manages is great.

I was a travel consultant, I paid for a monthly electronics fee and the majority of the time the software online was not enough or served little to no advantage to doing my job. The information on the site was not up to date or in accurate.

The amount of time I spent and sales I did was not worth it as Expedia took a big chunk of my sales and the rest to the franchise owner. You needed to have a big list of clients and book $9000 trips in order to make any money.

I trained and worked at the Kamloops BC Canada and found the senior staff and management completely unhelpful when it came to guiding me and helping me retrieve commissions owed to me.  They still owe me money.  Most times when I had an issue I would call for assistance and no one would help me or even call me back even though we were encouraged to call if we needed assistance.  Very stressful and frustrating experience. Zero perks. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Poor support from management, only interested in number of agents

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Getting the details right, not enough training

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
On your own, other agents are amazing but hard to keep asking them for help as everyone is on commission

If you have no experience, why complain when you don't sell?  

You sell, and participate, you earn your rewards. 

It took me a couple of years to start earning some decent money.  But I was in the business to learn and to travel.  Money was always secondary to me.

If you have the "sales" spirit, you can thrive.

They will ask you to pay for everything and do so much paper work.
The commission is very low 
It’s like volunteering 
If you miss a training they will become aggressive 

Great a place to start your own business and to develope new skills, meet new people and to travel the world. You work with a great team of supportive people
