Description
COMPANY OVERVIEW:
Going on vacation should be the easiest and coolest thing you do all year. SWAY is a fast-paced hospitality company that cultivates a 5-star experience for every single guest who entrusts us with their precious time off. We manage properties (condos and homes!) on behalf of our owners all along Mustang Island.
Founders Chuma and Jim are 5-year industry veterans who have a passion for building the greatest guest experience on the island. After managing their own rentals through other companies and having less than stellar experiences, they decided to create and manage SWAY. Today we cater to the two most important demographics on the island – SWAY homeowners and SWAY guests!

Our Values
THE PLATINUM RULE
Whether we’re dealing with colleagues or guests, we follow The Platinum Rule, treating others the way they want to be treated. It’s a simple rule, but it’s also significant: we don’t prioritize money or growth over people, and we practice empathy at every opportunity.
CALM FOCUS
We work in hospitality and tourism. Both are fast-paced and stressful industries. So it’s important that we focus on the larger objective rather than rushing from one task to the next. This calm focus helps us create solutions our guests and owners love.
ONE TEAM, ONE DREAM
We look at our guests’ experience holistically and recognize that catering to them requires collaboration across teams. This approach extends to cooperation among our three most important groups of people – our guests, our owners, and our staff.

Annual Salary: $50,000 - $60,000
