Pros

Good business model: take on a long-term lease, rent it out on a short term basis. People in the office work hard.

Cons

Disorganized, and duplicitous work. Compensation is below market. They enter unfavorable leases with homeowners, which makes it difficult down the line, you can only cut costs within the business or limit guest refunds so much. Smoke and mirrors from the higher ups, feel like there is never 100% transparency for the people that actually do the lifting and need the direction. IF INTERVIEWING: ask about compensation early and make sure they stick to it or you walk away. If you do get hired, make sure you have a backup plan, for if "things don't work out"

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
