Pros

Sales team works extremely hard and most people have great intentions.

Cons

Very tough to work for an employer that has no direction and little care for their employees. This used to be a great place to work. Culture was strong and people cared for one another from the top down. Once the market shifted, entire teams and departments were let go, and it was amazing to see the shift in attitude and behaviors from management. Evolve quickly became an "every person for themselves" employer where backstabbing, lead-stealing and blood-sucking became the norm, and it continues to this day. Top level managers are desperately trying to escape as are their teams. Operations and Enablement make the decisions despite the brave faces that try to convince us otherwise. This is probably the most unorganized, uncaring and unprofessional outfit I've ever been associated with. Conduct a major layoff in the a.m. only to turn around 3-hours later to have an org-wide meeting with music and decision-makers bopping to the beat and smiling over Zoom. It's quite disgusting, honestly. Then, turn around and try to convince employees to leave good reviews to help attract others. So many good people have been let go, and dozens of other trusted and caring people have opted to leave on their own. The only people left are those of us who are either trying to get out or are puppets drinking the juice. I would stay as far away from this company as possible

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.
