Pros

Remote work, technology provided, some individuals at the company

Cons

Evolve used to be great and I loved saying I worked at Evolve. But ever since 2020, things have seemed to of been falling apart. First things first, I’m highly disappointed and frustrated with how Evolve handles layoffs. There have been silent layoffs since 2020 where people are laid off at least once a quarter. I was one of those individuals and it was 3 weeks before I give birth. Unfortunately for me, it’s completely legal to do that but puts the ethics of the company at stake. I understand business operations happen but the complete lack of empathy I received from the company who knew my maternity leave was due to start soon only to lay me off right before is inexcusable. Don’t expect to hear anything from anyone when you email them how you feel either, cause those who manage leaderships inbox won’t bother to respond either. I know so many individuals who have been negatively impacted by the choices that evolve has made in their leadership that’s resulted in too many layoffs for me to even count on my fingers and toes. Leadership is all over the place. COHAD means absolutely nothing when the company changes their mind on a weekly basis and leaves their employees confused as to what direction the company is actually going in. Teams are understaffed and those individuals still working are stretched thin and constantly having too much on their plate, especially since the salary doesn’t match the workload of employees. Burn out is huge at this company but nothing is ever done to help the last remaining solid people that are in the company. Don’t expect to get decent raises once a year because the raise you’ll be given feels like a slap in the face for having to run around 40 hours a week. I used to be incredibly proud to work at Evolve and it’s a shame I’m having to write this but when it comes down to it, you’re just a head count not seen as a real person. I hope that the company can bounce back and truly get to where it was before but the way things are going, I’m not confident in that. At the current state of what I know this company to be at, I would not in a million years recommend someone to work here.

Thank you for your feedback and for the time you spent at Evolve. We’re glad to hear there were aspects of your experience—including remote flexibility and meaningful relationships—that stood out positively. We also want to acknowledge the seriousness of what you shared. Workforce decisions are never taken lightly, and they are not made based on personal circumstances such as parental leave. We comply fully with employment laws and approach these decisions with care and consistency. That said, we recognize that when a transition coincides with a major life event, it can feel deeply personal and painful. We do not take that impact lightly. We also want to clarify that while we have made structural adjustments over the past several years, there have not been quarterly company-wide layoffs. Organizational changes have been intentional and tied to business alignment—not reactive or cyclical reductions. Evolve is built as a high-performance, customer-obsessed organization. That requires clarity, accountability, and thoughtful planning. We continue to strengthen how we communicate change, support teams through transitions, and ensure compensation and workload expectations are aligned. We appreciate your contributions during your time here and wish you and your family the very best.

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...
