      Pros

      Hands-on ownership and executive team: Upper management is very engaged and visible, which makes it easy to feel connected to the company’s direction and values. Strong community involvement: There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer and participate in community-focused initiatives, which adds a meaningful dimension to the workplace experience. Supportive sales team: The sales team is truly wonderful, collaborative, upbeat, and always willing to help. Working alongside them is one of the highlights.

      Cons

      No 401(k) contribution: While a plan is offered, the lack of employer contribution is a significant downside compared to industry standards. Minimal annual raises: Yearly increases are typically just a little over 2%, which doesn’t reflect performance or growing responsibilities. Meeting overload: There are too many meetings and reports, which often feel repetitive and take time away from core responsibilities. Sales vs. Operations divide: The experience differs dramatically depending on the department. Sales and Operations function almost like separate companies, with noticeable differences in support, communication, and treatment. Low pay for the workload: Compensation does not match the level of responsibility or expectations placed on employees, especially in operations.

      Pros

      I have had the priviledge of working for GREAT hotel management companies. But, it taken me over 30 years in hotel management to find MY PEOPLE and THE BEST COMPANY I have ever had the honor of working with! Vista Host - from the support team (Evan Studer, Michael Gulotty, Kathy Long, Madie Setzer & more) to every other individual possesses these characteristics: -Class -High level of character -Doing the Right Thing -Ongoing Training -Devoted to promoting from within -Setting our hotels apart with "Vista Host Points of Difference" - to be the first choice, highest guest-service rated hotels in our market -There was never a box - they manage to the individual and truly care about their entire team. This buids inexplicable loyalty and drive. -They LISTEN and HEAR you -Passion -Kindness -Compassion -Abide by the "Golden Rules of Leadership" - praise publicy and admonishing privately -Operate at a higher level (if you thrive on an environment of petty gossip, not being productive and working in a toxic environment - this is NOT the company for you). -They CELEBRATE your wins! -They COACH you through teacheable moments (without any shame or embarrasment) I will NEVER consider any other company now that I have experienced the BEST for 6 years. I thought companies like this just didn't exist, but I have learned THEY DO and VISTA HOST is this company!

      Cons

      That I couldn't live longer to work for Vista Host even longer!
