Pros

Great original concept Hard-working coworkers Unlimited PTO

Cons

The exec team is made up of yes-men and women to the CEO, many are new and don't even fully comprehend their own departments. The original thesis that AvantStay is a premiere hospitality brand is now a false narrative. The company has become little more than another average property manager. Company payroll is bloated as the CEO is trying to pretend the company is something it isn't and stretches it too thin by chasing every whim, all within an industry that's run off of slim margins. Attempting to do too much has cost the company its future and its funding. Real promotions are non-existent, there has never been an internal hire that has been promoted to the executive team; the only promotion you may get is a slight title bump with additional responsibilities but without the pay. Recently canceled all off-sites and culture initiatives to address the current internal financial situation. Do not expect to receive your full bonus, this is company standard and from the top. Unfortunately, hiring practices have led to a lot of mediocre hires who put their names on projects to get recognition but add very little value to the company, this is dangerous when funds are tight and one of the few justified reasons for lay-offs.

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
