AH-Maz-Ing! The freedom this company has provided is phenomenal! I worked in corporate America for almost 30 years and lost my 25-year career due to COVID - they closed our local office and eliminated my position.
The atmosphere, support, perks, training, and friendships I've found here are like nothing I've ever experienced. Everyone wants everyone to succeed and it really shows considering most of the training is done by volunteers - they're not getting paid extra for sharing their knowledge with us! I earn 80% of all paid-out commissions, I've earned my IATAN card, I've earned free cruises, and discounted hotel rates, I've even joined the OPTIONAL mentorship program (the "hybrid" MLM model) and earn residual income every month by sharing this opportunity with others.
The best part? I get to stay home and work at my own pace, and I don't have to put my kid on a bus every morning so that I can drive to an office and work 8 hours and ask for permission to use my earned vacation time.
The other great thing about this - you can come in and try it out risk-free - they actually offer a 10-day money-back guarantee. Come in, get your certification, and try out some of the training, if within the first 10 days - you don't feel the opportunity is right for you, cancel and get your full refund.
I joined Archer Travel after COVID forced the closer of my 23 year old Permit Expediting company. When I heard about the option to work in travel I got pretty excited. My wife and I have traveled all over the world and the thought of doing it and making money was intrigued. So I started looking at all the different agencies listed on the website. I spent a lot of time reading reviews, talking with other agents and comparing the pros and cons of each company. There really was no question of which one to choose. Archer Travel pays the highest commissions in the industry, they are considered a favorite of all the major travel vendors in the Industry. There was no cost to become certified, no cost for training and I could get my CLIA card as soon as I become certified. They also allowed me to get my IATAN Card after only making $5000 in commission. No other agency can make these claims. Do you know how easy it is to make $5000 in commission when you are getting 80% of the paid commissions? I did it my first month. Their support is unlike anything I have experienced. As far as your claim goes, they are no where close to being an MLM, the first two words of an MLM are Multi Level. Where do you see that in this company? We get paid to mentor others and that comes from a profit pool much like the airline industry but, we get paid monthly instead of annually. I have owned 2 very successful companies in my lifetime and if I knew then what I know now, I would have done this a long time ago.
Just a note from HAR here. Appreciate you sharing your experience but wanted to clarify a few things. The $5000 in commission rule is set at the IATAN/CLIA level so every agency should be having that threshold for their advisors.
In terms of the MLM question. We classify Archer as an MLM hybrid, which means they have a host agency division and an MLM division. Archer Travel's MLM branch is Evolution Travel. They're very transparent about their partnership. You can find more information on Archer's website: https://www.archertravel.com/evolution.
3 years ago, I started as a travel agent affiliated with Archer Travel, and through all this time I have been able to gain a lot of experience, it works for me because I was an absent mother working in the office and with my home based business, I can be a present mother, Thanks to the business model that Archer gives us, it has been able to change my life in many ways! I'm really thankful that Archer is my host agency!
I have only been working with Archer for 4 months and it has been full of learning, support and achievements. I started without any experience as a travel agent and since the first day I had all the support and guidance. I have managed to sell without doubting my ability and now more than ever I am sure that I have made the best decision by working with Archer.

Archer has been an opportunity to turn one of my passions into a source of income, I love the team and the way they incorporate you into the dynamic of learning and developing skills. The training is constant and I must say that the information is always being updated. The main concern is that you have tools to sell and meet the expectations of clients and the work team.
I have been working with Archer since last year. We have support from all the agents in addition to being certified with many suppliers. Besides that I have learned a lot from various destinations.
Due to its seriousness I have managed to position my travel agency.
