Audley Travel

Definitely a company which provides the bells and whistles of great benefits which include generous vacation packages and health insurance, as well as other more standard ‘start up’ incentives. However this is two roles in one, as a sales person and account manager, and both roles are chronically underpaid.

Most team members on the sales floor do not achieve top level success which is the only way you can see reasonable commission payments from your sales, instead expect to sell $30,000+ for the company and content yourself with the $75 commission in return as well as the hundreds of account management hours to follow.

Corporate Management is almost entirely focused on profitability, while direct managers are often unequal to the tasks asked of them. 

A good option if you are a self supporting sales person who doesn’t care about money and is willing to work long hours for little pay.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The coworkers, people at my level are some of the nicest I have ever met. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management team is not very good. They are really in it for themselves. The former president was one of the best people I have ever worked for. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, most country specialists dislike their jobs and their managers. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work work work, unable to find a manager as they are always in meetings.

One thing Audley does well is promote a fun, active, and like minded work culture. It is a pretty young workforce. They will teach you about sales and it is a good place to develop your skills. However, with the young workforce and the compensation on the lower end for a sales job, most people find themselves at the company for 2-3 years before moving on to more lucrative roles with the skills they developed. If you're just starting out in sales, this might be a good role for you. If you have a few years experience under your belt, you might be put off by the compensation and mental stagnation.

Working here made me rethink any future career I will ever have again in my life. This was the worst experience of my life with the worst management I could think of. Everyone that works there hates it, but they send you on a trip to trap you into the company and you can't quit unless you pay $3000 to pay it back. If you work here you are scamming others of $1000's of dollars on travel! On top of poor management, you are cold calling and the work is terrible. Be sure to ask about their turnover rate. Multiple quit or get fired weekly!!!!

A typical day would include answering emails, following up with clients, maintaining relationships, work with local suppliers.

Discuss different trip options with co workers and alternative accommodation selections for possible itineraries. 

I really enjoy building relationships with clients and work with them to put together the trip of a lifetime.

I really enjoyed working for Audley Travel. You get to travel to your country at least once a year and become a travel expert in your region. The company office is an open concept and thrives on collaboration to ensure success. Management is helpful and employees are friendly.

I absolutely loved working here. The office environment is very welcoming and casual, and my manager was very compassionate and caring. It is a stressful job because of the pressure to meet your quota consistently, but if you are a good salesperson you'll have a successful and lucrative career here.

Seems very interesting place to work and very different from regular corporate America as the headquarters are in London. However, once the rose color glasses come off, it’s just an okay place to work. Definitely very numbers driven even though they claim to be client oriented.  Not a lot of room for growth. 

It was great at first, but then you realize how little you actually make and how many hours you have to work to actually succeed. The FAM trips were incredible, but they dangle it over your head.

Talented passionate employees make this workplace great.  The company didn't make changing jobs easy and it seems like a place that has  jobs rather than a career.   Important that everyone has the same or similar values here and of the same mindset to fit in.
