Pros

Great if Your upper management Great for the lazy. There is no guidelines on how to succeed in your role , and your manager is going to change enough it doesn't really matter if you work hard or not.

Cons

There is a huge lack of structure since the company's emphasis is on growth, causing many positions to be added with no real direction for what that role will be. They talk about advancement opportunities but I have yet see anyone grow other than those already in upper management, which is crucial mistake if you want solid growth because you should want upper managers who have experienced the smaller roles to be able to truly create efficiency and improvements. Several people have left due to this. Getting information is a PAIN. Any question I've asked gets ignored or told to ask someone else. IF I get a response (and a big if), its often "why don't you already know this???" Departments do not talk to each other about vital information that impacts one anothers day to day.

That may be the first time we've ever heard the word "lazy" in reference to our people, let alone that we've cultivated an environment that would benefit anyone that wasn't heavily motivated and driven. Here at AvantStay, there is only room for people who want to put their thumbprint on a growing endeavor -- it is a performance-driven environment, so one of the only things that doesn't change is how hard we work. Regarding communication, this is always something we're focusing on especially in a remote-first environment. We appreciate your feedback.

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
