Pros

Interesting job booking train travel all over Europe. Benefits and time-off no different than any other travel company.

Cons

Low salaries, very disorganized, management has no idea how to treat employees. The training program is a joke you're thrown on the phone with two weeks of reading their brochures. The HR department is useless. They bring interns from Europe and put them in the local YMCA/YWCA on their own. When I asked my manager if he thought I had a chance for a promotion into another department he told me there were enough women managers and he wanted to hire a man instead!

Pros

This is an international company so employees are coming from all over the world, however executives are mainly from Europe. People at all levels are friendly and easy-going. Some employees have been with Rail Europe Inc for 20 years(?)and the turn over seems very low. They make most of their money on the internet and teams working for this channel seem to be pampered and get more recognition than others. Salaries are fair with a good health package and decent vacation time. You also get some free travel in Europe which is really nice.

Cons

The company HQ seems top heavy. there are a lot of managers with important titles and they are always in meetings but rarely in the cubicles. Lots of business processes that will drag you down. Call center is not staffed adequately and level of customer support is very low in high season.
