I was offered a job at Viking Cruise Line. All the Glassdoor reviews are scary but not really about money just micromanagement and PTO. I was making a lot selling travel previously and I’ve been looking to get back into it. The commission structure is based on conversions, not just sales. Any thoughts?

I wouldn't disregard reviews entirely, but I think you have to be judicious in how you consider them. First of all, people with negative feelings are just more likely to write a review, and they can get pretty passionate about it. And if the reviews are about micromanagement, that's often specific to a particular office. If you've got a feel for selling travel, it might be a good move. You can't let the opinion of anonymous reviewers set the agenda.

Yet if you notice there are plenty of comparable companies getting g good reviews ... so why not Viking Cruises?
