Vista Host reviews

Above all, poor base salary. Regarding 40%+ bonus opportunity... Rolling budget ensures bonus targets move so that bonuses are not fully paid out. RevPar Index targets also change quarterly so that bonuses are not fully paid out. Expensive health insurance for a family. No 401k match. Small budget for entertaining clients and holiday gifts compared to your competitors. Minuscule marketing budget. Long and tedious weekly reports. Large monthly reports. Weekly calls with Regional Sales. Micro-management that leaves DOS with no autonomy and very little time left after servicing accounts. Cannot staff or hire for own department. Expectation that sales team needs to assist with complimentary breakfast weekdays and weekend in the name of "sales". In reality, sales team are utilized as bussers because comp breakfast is never staffed accordingly. Leanest budget (share hotelligence with other hotels, cheapest STAR, no travel budget for DOS). If you are an experienced DOS, the company is unattractive. If you have a full-service background and/or have worked for brand managed, the company is absurd.

Oh the CONS! The health insurance offered is absolute garbage. and it took 6 months after I was qualified for it to actually get it because of a 'clerical error' The company is too worried about shop calls and secret shoppers. They are important no doubt, but endless positive SALT surveys and TripAdvisor reviews are negated by forgetting to ask "How was your stay?" to someone checking out. Was promised all sorts of advancement opportunities, and then never given a straight answer as how to actually do it. In 2 years I had 11, yes ELEVEN!!!!! general managers People straight out of college get preferential treatment over experienced workers. It got really old teaching my managers how to run the hotel properly.
