Startup Dysfunction

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

HQ roles are remote which present their own sets of pros. The company is young and hiring at a shocking rate.

Cons

At the rate that this company wants to grow and is growing they are not implementing new roles and systematic changes to keep up with the growth. The operational systems are a joke with no accountability. The dysfunction is astounding. The term "world-class hospitality" is always thrown around by executive leadership and the properties are anything but world-class. The company was founded in 2017 and still actively uses the term "startup" with over 320+ employees. If you enjoy dysfunction, a severe lack of communication and accountability this company is for you. From a customer's perspective, the website is extremely hard to use and the price-point of the homes for what they are is absurd.

AvantStay Response
4y
Thank you for bringing these observations to our attention, transparency and authenticity are two qualities we strive to embed in our culture. We do consider ourselves a late-stage startup (based off funding and our entrepreneurial way of operating), and one of our main, ever-improving goals is increasing efficiency with systems and processes. We began as a hospitality brand and have evolved into an all-encompassing vacation rental brand with hospitality still in the center of how we operate, as shown by our stellar ratings across different platforms. We understand our market and potential market share, and are consistently refining our strategy to reach our ambitious goals. We also understand that there are growing pains especially when it comes to communication in such a rapidly-growing, agile company -- as a current employee, please use the anonymous feedback form we offer that goes directly to our executive team for response on our weekly company virtual meetings. Thank you!

Short sighted leadership with knee jerk reaction

Pros

Fully remote. Some people are great to work with

Cons

Bottom of the barrel compensation. Zero work/life balance. Bottomless unreasonable demands from short sighted leadership with knee jerk reaction and views people as disposal tools.

Pros

Remote work Initial Vision was good

Cons

People abusing their power and using others as scapegoats for the poor leadership and management they provided. Laying off and firing people with no clue what impact it would have. Mad panic to try and figure out what is going on. No ethics, standards and poor customer service for a sub par vacation rental
