Pros

Working for Vista Host has been a breath of fresh air. Since day one, I've been equipped and empowered to do my job to the best of my ability. The onboarding and training process has been the best in my professional career, which is reflective of the management company's commitment to excellence. Leadership is actively engaged in the sales process, opening new doors for us, removing obstacles, and making sure I have what I need to sell the property. The Regional and National support team genuinely CARES about each associate, as our success is their success. The company is sincere when they say they want to help our professional development, opportunities for career advancement, and help us get to where we want to be in our careers. As any job, you will be challenged to grow, actively sell the property and hit your numbers, but the reward is great, and the Regional and National Support Team are the first to recognize and celebrate your wins. One of my favorite aspects of my role and this property is the engagement from the Regional Sales, Operations, Marketing, and Revenue Management teams. If you put the work in, you will be set up for success, because they WANT to see you do well! The onsite hotel discounts and brand discounts are a great benefit too. If you are looking to work in the hospitality industry, this is THE company to work at!

Cons

Having to use a personal cellphone for business.

Pros

Hands-on ownership and executive team: Upper management is very engaged and visible, which makes it easy to feel connected to the company’s direction and values. Strong community involvement: There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer and participate in community-focused initiatives, which adds a meaningful dimension to the workplace experience. Supportive sales team: The sales team is truly wonderful, collaborative, upbeat, and always willing to help. Working alongside them is one of the highlights.

Cons

No 401(k) contribution: While a plan is offered, the lack of employer contribution is a significant downside compared to industry standards. Minimal annual raises: Yearly increases are typically just a little over 2%, which doesn’t reflect performance or growing responsibilities. Meeting overload: There are too many meetings and reports, which often feel repetitive and take time away from core responsibilities. Sales vs. Operations divide: The experience differs dramatically depending on the department. Sales and Operations function almost like separate companies, with noticeable differences in support, communication, and treatment. Low pay for the workload: Compensation does not match the level of responsibility or expectations placed on employees, especially in operations.
