Pros

- fully remote work - I loved my co-workers - If you start in an entry level position, there is opportunity for growth

Cons

- There isn't accountability at the most senior leadership levels. When strategic decisions lead to negative outcomes, the consequences are felt most by the teams responsible for execution. In my experience, risks identified by subject matter experts are not adequately considered, and when those risks materialized, managers and senior mangers were fired rather than the decision-makers themselves. - Evolve emphasizes a commitment to inclusion, but my experience did not consistently reflect this value. I observed repeated inappropriate and sexist remarks from a direct leader that were not meaningfully addressed. - 0 job security in Customer Experience, Learning & Enablement, and People team roles. The company states it will not conduct mass layoffs, but there appears to be a pattern of ongoing terminations across teams and roles. While the company is not laying off 25+ people at once, laying off 3-5 people across multiple disciplines, at a quarterly cadence feels feel similar. Greater clarity and honesty around these decisions would help build trust.

Thank you for your feedback and for your more than five years at Evolve. Most importantly, we take concerns about inappropriate conduct very seriously. The remarks you mentioned have no place at Evolve and we want the opportunity to look into this further. Please email people@evolve.com to connect with us. On your other feedback: We hold leaders at every level accountable for outcomes. And we want to foster a culture where Evolvers are both empowered to proactively flag risks and recommend solutions as well as take strategic risks when they align with our goals and culture. We also want to clarify that structural decisions are tied to business alignment and aren't cyclical. Ongoing performance management is a core part of how healthy, high-performing organizations operate — and it's something our top performers expect and value.

Thanks for sharing your experience, and we're glad you enjoyed your role as a VRA. This team plays a crucial role in delivering for our owners and guests. We hold high expectations for all teams and wouldn't characterize VRA work as easy, but we do hope it's always manageable and allows Evolvers to thrive within and outside of Evolve.

Pros

Wonderful teammates that quickly become the only reason you stick with Evolve, outside of a steady paycheck.

Cons

Too many to list truly. This company is grasping at straws to survive in the short-term vacation rental industry; despite being manhandled at every turn by "partner" companies such as Airbnb. The company is literally always changing the goal post and then blaming the frontline team for not meeting their insane expectations. You will deal with multiple shift bids during the year, mainly to follow their random firing/layoffs that they wish to keep quiet. Constant system changes, staff changes and new responsibilities that are often rushed and not yet ready to be implemented, and an incredible lack of care from leadership. Nonexistent training for all of the new responsibilities you will take on after the layoff of an important team. By the time I left in April 2026, I had taken on partner services, guest support, owner support, listing optimization, booking management, damage claims for substantial incident reports and more. All of which you are expected to complete with back to back inbound calls to uphold the "customer-obsession" role. When they have decided to put you and at least 5 other teammates on the same chopping block, they will claim you were "avoiding work" or "on a call too long" to avoid any accountability for the drastic amount of issues at this company. I have had 7 MANAGERS within a 3.5 year span. If you absolutely have to work here, the only way to get through it is to completely disassociate and be sure to use your 10 EAP sessions...

We're glad the relationships you built with Evolvers were meaningful. Evolve is a high-performance, high-accountability environment, and we own that. When expectations aren't being met, we address it directly. If there are specific concerns about how your departure was handled, we want to hear them—please reach out to people@evolve.com.
