Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
THEY ARE VERY GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO.
Leadership is really good for the most part
I work in the linen department. so I am by my self most of the day but my upper management team makes sure to include me in everything and visits my office atleast once a week.
my direct leadership is awesome. We're all in the same boat though. Each area is different. My area is great. The overall company, the higher-ups I don't even know, must be awful. It's the trickle-down effect. We do ALL the work so someone can sit comfy up top
Since they are all new, they have some enthusiasm still. They try to be professional
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication and setting clear expectations.
Communication ,training and treating employees properly.

Communication is key in life to everything

They just have too much to juggle to really advocate for us

Review from Operations Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Totally undervalued. Housekeepers get paid minimum wage.
Review from Operations Dept
Employee turnover is high. Vacasa does not provide promotions, they hire from outside the company. Great housekeepers go beyond expectations and take on extra responsibilities. In order to keep experienced and efficient employees, there should be some form of pay increase or advancement opportunity.

Review from Customer Success Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
at will work force yes
The interview process seems to halt at some point every time. I know many people who have just been ghosted. Even people who have a good interview hear nothing back. I have applied for multiple other positions within the company and have had to chase down the rejections with no explanation given.
Review from Operations Dept
It depends on who does the interviewing. Some if the managers on the Sales team seem to have implicit bias
Let individuals know more really about the job and hours required to work during busy season
Very unorganized on a local office level
Review from Operations Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Pleaseing guests, a well kept and organized jobsite, and a co worker who is helpful, not oblivious.
Review from Operations Dept
The feeling when the house your cleaning is finished and ready for guests
When everything is running smoothly for myself and others
I get to work alone doing something I really enjoy
The flexibility in my schedule
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
customers say that the houses are not maintained and there is no support for issues
Get some honest managers to run the company
Review from Operations Dept
The company is too money hungry and greedy. Owners see our fees are sometimes higher than the total rent. Owners get charged a markup for cleaning after they stay in their own home. Guests are sometimes misled about the home they rent - the recruiters will onboard any old shack falling apart
Vacasa seems to prioritize their customers over their employees. However, they should adjust their business model to prioritize, support and diversify their operations team. If the employees who interact hands-on with customers feel that they are treated well, they will provide better service.
Real cleaning time can cost me my job.
What do you like best about your company?
exciting industry, engaging work, collaborative team members, a chance to make a difference on a daily basis
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Clearer alignment and connection with the company mission, vision and core values; they're very good, but not fully integrated into the culture yet.
Employee onboarding, management structure, more stability
