Pros

AvantStay is such a fun company to work at, everyone is really passionate about their work and the industry. They are disrupting the travel + hospitality industry by acting as an elevated host on a number of platforms. Was formerly an intern and was able to work my way into a full time position, so there is a lot of room for growth. The company is taking off and just raised 20 mil in funding so there is a huge track to success here! - super fun work culture - go hard mentality - has homes in 10 locations, so market visits are fun - many benefits to employees (Wellness Wednesdays, equity, healthcare, travel credits) - dog friendly office - office in a WeWork so tons of networking opportunities

Cons

- long work hours, but it pays off

Pros

I’ve been with the company since I started

Cons

Houses need more attention given to them as a maintenance person before I used to walk the houses when guest checked out and we stayed on top of the houses a little more than than we do now. Seems like some people just walk through the house and lock it up and go home. Meanwhile there’s faucets loose doorhandles loose stuff falling apart and the AAs are not catching this on the other side, we have work orders that are not getting done properly. The first time I’ve never been a vendor and had a company make up my hourly rate and being on call I’m waiting for work and maybe only getting a job a day doesn’t really pay our bills as maintenance people because we have to keep up on insurance not only that but gasoline because we’ll go to some of the houses 2 to 3 times a day because of the way, the work orders come in we could’ve already been at a house and then we’re getting sent back to the house for another case to do
