Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Inspirato Incorporated's ethical standing receives a mixed rating. Reports suggest challenges in fair pay and worker respect, with Glassdoor reviews indicating a 2.9/5 employee rating and 2.8/5 for compensation. Critics point to recent changes including reduced commissions, a shift to hourly pay that allegedly faced employee backlash, reduced PTO, and the removal of 401k matching. Employee headcount significantly decreased from 900 in 2022 to 470 in 2024. On the environmental front, Inspirato is a member of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance and partners with Clean the World for recycling. They've also introduced reusable drinkware in 50 properties and provided 1,500 reusable water bottles. However, quantitative data on emissions, waste reduction, and other key environmental metrics is largely unavailable. Many other ethical areas lack sufficient public information for a comprehensive assessment.
