It is quite chuckle some to see these incentivized positive reviews. They must have offer them an $25 Uber Eats gift card per usual lol. Out of all of the negative reviews that I have yet to see anyone speak on their experience as a person of color so I feel that is it my duty to speak on my experience. Possibly because there is a lack of people of color in your organization, AvantStay? And you all try to advertise “diversity.” What a joke. As a person of color and specifically someone who identifies as being African American this was absolutely the WORST place that I have ever been employed. I have worked for several companies including some of the largest global organizations which often caused me to be the only minority in spaces but I have NEVER had encounters, as the ones that I have experienced with this company. From the very beginning I was looked down on, tone policed, experienced micro aggressions, and dismissed by my white counterparts. Having a voice and simply expressing yourself was impossible because you will be deemed as aggressive; That is quite dangerous! There were instances where my white colleague would go to our manager with concerns and later on I would address the same concerns, and they would be dismissed. Hmmm…. In particular, there was a Director who I might add was an extremely mediocre unqualified hire that came in and destroyed an entire department with her toxicity and negativity, Of course it was ignored and she was given a promotion. Also, it is quite coincidental that the same individuals were being promoted and I’ve watched POC be there for over a year or more with no real promotion. They made a few “diversity hires” and I guess that was supposed to be enough. Huge joke. I literally watched them push out a POC because they stood up and had a voice. Oh and I can’t forget about my colleague who was a POC was told by a white man that they were so “Eloquently spoken” compared to some other individuals. How i this an appropriate thing to say? Oh and guess what AvantStay, there are people who have been reaching out to me for the past year who is interested in working for the company and guess what I have been doing? Airing it all out. I don’t hold back and go into extreme detail and they leave our conversation absolutely disgusted and no longer interested in working here. This place is extremely dangerous, unsafe, along with being volatile, and I will continue to use my voice to bring awareness! I felt as if I was experiencing modern day slavery while working here. It is my responsibility to protect anyone who looks like me from experiencing what I have experienced while being employed there so I will scream to the mountaintop to warn them to stay away because they will not be protected or advocated for here. Don’t even thinking about going to HR as they WILL NOT CARE. You all should be ashamed of yourselves as an organization as to how you treat people. Just imagine being a POC and working here during the height of the pandemic, racial injustices at an all time high and having to come to a toxic workplace to be bullied every single day? As someone else mentioned in another review this company will come crashing down and people will reap for how they have treated individuals. I have watched amazing people come in bubbly, eager, motivated and quickly deteriorate because they are beaten and broken down. Oh and stop using the excuse of “underperformance” to push people out. I witnessed this happen to someone who used their voice to call out the crap and advocated for themselves which they didn't like and all of a sudden they were put on a PIP and was out. HORRIBLE! The amount of people who have mental health issues after working at this company is absolutely ridiculous. Lastly, please do not worry about responding with a generic response to my review as you are doing to others and try to gaslight me. There are other platforms that are available for me to share my horrible experience with which I will be doing:) Even if you are not a POC, I hope that you will take my review discussing my experience into consideration when thinking about joining this organization. Personally, I would not want to work at a company who showcases behaviors as such. Trust me, there are far better companies who will pay much more. Don’t let their “perks” that they try to use to lure you in get you. I kick myself everyday for turning down multiple other offers to work at such trash and filth.
