- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Loved working for Viking Cruises. Fellow employees are all amazing and helpful people. The salary pre-pandemic was great with a commission. The culture is inclusive. As long as you can work hard this is a really great company to work for. 10/10 recommend it.
Cons
not to many cons but as with any sales position you have to stay on top of your metrics. That can be challenging to some. The only other con is not actually Viking's fault its the pandemics fault however the company did a EXCELLENT job with the pandemic situation and are coming back strong. A little more vacation time would be nice.

Pros
Competitive Healthcare, 401k, Dental Plan
Cons
Archaic Business Model that needs modern redesign Great benefits, they give you a free cruise, but the benefits are all encompassing to all kinds of employees. To some degree it makes sense to offer more perks for different teams because of differing needs. This company offers the same benefits to management as they do to call center employees which is a little problematic in my opinion but great if you're just starting out
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Spiffs, free cruises each year, opportunity to move up, structure
Cons
Comp plan, having to work in the middle of a pandemic and get paid less than unemployment while doing 3 different jobs. That is over now though so I'm sure everything is back to normal in terms of just going back to doing your one job.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great company benefits and coffee
Cons
Poor management and micro managing to the highest degree
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Free Cruise and excellent healthcare
Cons
None. This is a professional company with high corporate standards. Not everyone fits this mold.

Pros
Can receive a free cruise but use any excuse to take it away from you. Actual sales process with customers is fun.
Cons
You are treated like absolute dirt. They come up with all kind of Excuses to try to take bookings away from you and have complicated policies that even when you follow guideline they can come back say it was not right decision and screw you over. Instead of of improving moral and taking steps to improve work culture they invested money into writing fake glass door reviews none of which could ever be written by an actual viking customer. From not backing out calls when their equipment does not work properly, making us take calls while system is down and we’re not even able to book it we can we are consistently screwed over by company. Having call reviews where if manager looks for any excuse to take a booking away even if you actually comply with policy. What is a shame is the actual job is very enjoyable talking to customers . There is zero job security, every year they enact new policies to screw you over, and pay you less. Their pandemic solutions giving people vouchers make all sales agents work twice as hard for no payment.
