Pros

It has been an amazing experience! Out of all the jobs I have had, it is the most positive environment I have ever worked at. Shoutouts, acknowledgment every single day of what you accomplish, even the smallest things! As a Travel Advisor, we have a great team who support each other, help each other in every day tasks. We do little competitions to keep each other motivated and driven. It is THE team that knows how to keep it fun! I mean, we book vacation homes, so it's important to keep a smile on your face:) because the enthusiasm is definitely contagious! This job also made me realize that there is always a solution to every problem! It is a very exciting position where you will rarely get bored. There is great support from the management team. They also encourage you to share any idea you may have to help contribute to the success of Evolve, no matter how long you have been working there. And they encourage growth and will give you the tools to be better at what you do.

Cons

I wish that they had an office in Paris (where I am moving), I would work there with no hesitation!

Pros

Competitive, Encouraging, Motivating, Benefits, Fun and Simple. I love my job here at Evolve. The CEO's are a trip to be around and my manager knows how to keep the office alive. Evolve sticks true to their values every month and we do not know how to give up. I give out my card to strangers and friends and highly recommend this job to everyone.

Cons

Can be repetitive, can be tedious. Have to be willing to work weekends (as a Travel Advisor, but most departments are Mon-Fri).

Pros

To be honest the only thing that can remotely be considered a pro about this company is that most, but not all, of the people here are cool.

Cons

Where do I begin... 1. Pay is abysmal 2. Management is an absolute joke 3. I have had 3 managers in the last 6 months, each progressively more unqualified than the last 4. You will be micromanaged A LOT 5. You can not have a backbone, if you speak your mind you will be reprimanded 6. If you actually do have a good idea someone will "piggy back" on it and claim it as their own 7. Despite it being the companies #3 value, they do not communicate "Often, Honestly or Directly" 8. Going back to the company's values. Number 10 is Have some fun along the way. I'll be the first to say there is not a lot of fun to be had. 9. There is no respect given to employees, they act as if they are doing you a huge favor by allowing you to work there 10. You will be miserable everyday when you wake up and absolutely dread every single second you are in the office. The pro to that is that you will get really good at counting down the hours until you get to go home. Trust me there are a lot more cons that I could have written. Save yourself the time and look elsewhere. If you have no other options and are completely desperate then this is the place for you, after all they are always hiring.

While we do appreciate feedback about our structure and how we can improve, this review makes quite a lot of spurious accusations without any actual incidents that I can investigate. I can speak to pay, which is competitive for the Denver area, and our habitual communication with employees, which happens with the leadership team monthly and with managers and team leads weekly. I can also say that the only reason any employee would have multiple managers would be if they appeared to be having trouble with their work and needed additional training and support. I suppose that might be construed as “micromanagement.” We treat our employees with respect and compassion and we expect them give each other that same courtesy; if any employee undermined or “stole ideas” from their colleagues, they would be reprimanded and ultimately terminated if the behavior did not alter. As to the accusation that no one has fun here: you are indeed the first to say it. The ratio of positive to negative reviews on our Glassdoor profile is a pretty accurate representation of how our employees feel about working here; we cannot and do not post additional reviews. We’re obviously not a fit for everyone, but for many of our employees, this is an exceptional place to build a career and learn, and we’ll continue to work on hiring people who will thrive here. I’m sorry to hear you did not enjoy your time here, and I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
