Pros
Free ski trips Sales team are fun to work with
Kontras
Like many others in the office I started at Interactive Resorts after working ski seasons. The salary is very low (18k) but you are assured that within the first few months you'll be earning plenty of comission. I quickly realised that the targets you must hit in order to earn the comission are unachievable - my second month in the job my target was triple that of my Team Leader (a luxury travel and group booking specialist). Targets are also inconsistent among people who start at the same time, but with no explanation. You are expected to work unpaid weekend shifts, come in at least half an hour early every day and are strongly encouraged to work through your lunch break. I was accused of 'having a job interview' when I tried to arrange a doctor's appointment during one lunch hour. As others have mentioned, the company do 'end of season job cuts' for those who haven't hit their monthly targets. Like many others in the office, I moved to London for my first full time job for this role and worked all additional hours the company asked only to be told one afternoon that I was jobless with just 2 days redundancy pay. Although this role can present a good opportunity to develop sales skills, the overall environment of the office and the training and management dont make it an overly positive place to do so.
