Diamond Resorts Reviews

Pros

There are good benefits and if possible or available, being able to move around the company is very likely. They hire within, which is great..

Cons

Some departments do not treat their employees as fairly as it should be. There are alot of double standards here.

Advice to Senior Management

Be able to open your eyes more and voice the concerns of the employees. Other than that, Diamond is great.

Pros

The compensation plan is awesome, if you can sell timeshare.

Cons

I did not get the coaching and training that I would have liked.

Advice to Senior Management

Have new people shadow top producers, not sales people who are unable to close.

Pros

Very reasonable work schedule; the company is always concerned with overtime, letting you enjoy an actual 40 hour work week. The majority of the employees on the lower levels are nice people - there is a sense of fatalism in that nothing positive gets done and no one can get ahead. People joke on a daily basis about needing to find a new job to get a promotion.

Cons

Senior management is totally disconnected from employees. There are mass exodus resignations and it still doesn't get noticed by senior level executives. People who stay are happy with the status quo, people who leave are the ones who tried to do good/implement change.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep good employees and stop promoting your friends.

Pros

Nice marble floors, armed security.

Cons

Absolutely no raises. HR says one thing, supervisors contradict HR. Too many unhappy employees. A lot of gossip. Lack of self- discipline among employees. Way too many rules about things you CAN'T do. Hard-nosed supervisors. Lack of support from supervisors. Lack of training. Supervisors "out to get you" mentality is true. Deceptive sales practices.

Advice to Senior Management

Study Zappos management style, study their culture, get a clue.

Pros

Good corporate culture.
Friendly coworkers.
decent salary.

Cons

too obsessed with policy
lack of communication between departments

Pros

you don't get anything for free never have never will, if your prepared to put in hard work and go the extra mile you will be compensated, i have worked for a lot of large businesses and this is the only job Ive had that i love getting out of bed for...
Help, respect and encouragement is there when i need it and that's all i can ask from an employer...
And as for wages I am more than compensated for the hard work i put in i haven't got loads of qualifications but i have the experience and in this climate everybody who has a job should be grateful they're not down the job centre!!!
