Have an awareness that those in upper management (especially those that enjoy firing people at every whim vs do performance labs and work through workable issues) are showing upper management one side of their personality (laughter and brown nosing and gossip), and a terrible side to those under them. If over 5 plus people from departments mention problems with the same person to HR and nothing happens, but more firing and problems and more firing to deflect problems - HR needs to look into what is going on. I was told by my manager I was loved, given jewelry, hugs and written up in the drop of a hat - with in a year over 20 people have quit or been fired - the manager in no way has used the vacasa performance labs or hr complaints to better things just process of elimination to cover their own tracks. Listen to the little people - that are intentionally kept separate from upper management.

Reviews have been happening once per year for two years (before that, there was nothing). The first year, raises were okay 5-10% (which still did not bring the average pay close to being competitive), but last year, most people saw 0-2% raises, which could mean as little as a $20 increase per month. It was ridiculous and insulting to say the least. If fair compensation is important to you, keep looking.

For full time staff there is the dangling carrot of "unlimited vacation". This sounds great until you realize that if you take advantage of it you will likely be the next person cut. The real reason is so that when they fire you or have sucked the life out of you and you quit? No requirement to pay out for unused vacation. Win / Win!
