Pros

Cool product, largely empowered to build something if you are in charge of a key area. Some decent travel benefits, although hard to actually redeem.

Cons

Management asleep at the wheel. Executive team is cliquey, out of touch with what teams are actually doing, and do not respond to feedback. During my tenure, there were some seriously toxic leaders in place - a lot of direct feedback was given but no action was taken. Serious lack of process, systems, tools and people management required for any company to succeed. Several outright legally questionable / shady practices happening here as well in regards to compensation, hiring and performance management. Agree with other reviewers that this company's would be best served by finding more experienced leaders to guide this company forward. I would urge any potential candidate to get feedback from current employees about the real deal culture before joining.

Really appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback on your experience at the company. Though your review doesn't note when you left Avantstay, change management has been a huge internal focus for us over the past couple quarters, which special focus on streamlining our processes and ensuring we have the right folks in the right positions (which includes everyone from the top down), We're proud of the huge strides we've made in the past several months and aren't shying away from working hard to continue to improve our operations. Anyone who's been a part of our team knows we're a roll up your sleeves culture, and we hope you'll continue to watch the space and witness the improvements and growth to come. Thank you so much for investing three years of your skills and hard work into the company--your current employer is lucky to have you!

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
