Pros

What this company gets credit for doing well is the hard work of all the people on the front line maintaining these houses that none of us could dream of affording to stay in, even with the employee discounts.

Cons

Do not work at this company. In a meeting on 9/17, you told us that the layoffs were unrelated to performance, in violation of our written employment terms. You HAD NO BUSINESS LYING TO YOUR EMPLOYEES. It's an extraordinarily bad idea that undermines your standing with your remaining employees. I've been working here for almost a year, and I can't imagine anyone staying more than a year. Most people last about six months. In that time, you will see numerous rounds of layoffs of your peers by management, and will have to participate yourself. After all this, you will be looking for somewhere else to work. Just this month their C-suite get around to adding their first person of color. Suffice it to say that women and persons of color were the disproportionate majority of layoffs. And all the super sugary reviews you see on here? Management posting fake reviews. It's scary.

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
