Rent. Reviews

Since we are now going through Chapter 11 bankruptcy, now is a good time for anyone silly enough to buy the remains of this company to go back and read all the previous reviews that were dismissed by most as disgruntled employees. If I sound angry, I AM. This company is filled with hard workers that are having their livelihoods placed in jeopardy because RentPath and it’s investors have refused to get with the times. Our current situation is a culmination of a company that has repeatedly refused to learn the lessons right in front of them because of their own arrogance. Executive leaders that are offended when you have the gall to say hi to them in the hallway. The absolute nerve of you to walk with your nose in the air as your incompetence destroys a company we the employees have worked hard to maintain throughout your terrible decisions. The open racism and refusal to diversify. Lack of communication and clear focus. RentPath is a living example of what happens when employees are not valued. I hope an MBA program somewhere does a case study on us and shows how bad management destroys companies. There is a MAJOR disconnect between management and employees, which is why nobody is surprised at our current situation. This is a company that has refused to innovate and move forward, and it has ALWAYS been this way. Fire everyone at the top and start over, but you won’t because RentPath is an arrogant company that has never valued the opinions of anyone below C level. CoStar is eating our lunch for one reason only: they value their employees. You allowed a startup with less than a TENTH of our resources to enter the multi family space and dominate us. If you’re an investor looking to buy us out, you have much work to do. The culture needs a hard reboot. Start with the lowest employees, walk around and feel the embarrassment of a company where the majority of all minorities are segregated to ONE area. The greatest companies recognize the success in DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT. If you’re an investor pay attention. If you’re a potential employee RUN. Current employees hit the Helpful button if you agree so that people reading these reviews won’t be fooled by the multitudes of fake reviews created.

The CEO, Marc Lefar, is close-minded, disconnected, and seemingly disinterested with the industry. He refuses to listen, ignores tribal knowledge, and disregards our partners' data and the validity it has in terms of product performance. He has little respect for sales, and is combative with any feedback or suggestions that do not align with his beliefs. There is obvious favoritism at play; the dysfunctional politics going on at every level is embarrassing. There is a blind-spot as it relates to the current state of the product, and the company's response is to completely ignore it, and in turn repeat the same one-liners over and over. Just because you're saying it doesn't make it true. There is an emphasis on data and processes, but the internal data is constantly incorrect, and most processes don't align with the client experience and overall human element.
