Pros

I met some fantastic people and I am still sad that I don't get to work with them every day.

Cons

I can honestly say that I did not enjoy the year that I worked at AvantStay. I did learn a lot but most of that was me being resourceful and teaching myself. There weren't really learning and development opportunities at the company to really grow your own skillset. I hate to say this but I think the company is pretty racist. Maybe not in-your-face racist, but when you pull the veil back you start to see the systemic issues going on behind the curtain. Everyone that works there is white. There are very few people of color. More than half of the people they have let go are either women or people of color on their team. The leadership team is inept. Seriously. It's just pathetic. No one really has a backbone or agency and they continue to sit around scrambling trying to figure out how to fix things versus actually rectifying their mistakes them. AvantStay also talks about wanting High Performers... This is rich considering their leadership ran good people away, fired loyal employees who worked hard for them, and is currently running the company into the ground. The company has been struggling financially for a while (I have no proof of this but the writing was on the wall for a while). I felt bad writing this review but then I remembered what they did to me during my review or lack thereof and how I was slighted for a promotion and I am happy to share my honest experience.

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
