Pros

Getting to meet different people at the Conference Center

Cons

Many. I worked at the Wharton School as a Conference Concierge. It is all run by Aramark. I was treated terribly while I was pregnant there. We are told to not take water off of the refreshment stands for the students yet the Managers there did it all the time. I was not supposed to leave my post while I was 7 months pregnant yet when I tried to get back-up nobody would answer the phone. I was basically forced to run to the ladies room while the class was in session and than got yelled at when I was not at my post even though there was no one outside of the room to attend to. When I left to have my baby, no card was sent and not even a congrats. When I came back from Maternity Leave, they fired me. It was an absolutely horrible experience. The people at Penn were awesome but the Aramark Managers were terrible to me. I knew it was when I was 7 months pregnant and crying in the ladies room. I have been an admin since I was 15 and decided to make a change by taking that position which was a terrible mistake.

Pros

Opportunities to change career path within organization.

Cons

Politics...lots of grandiose talk with no action...can't tell you how many people I know who have tried to get jobs here and get no response whatsoever from human resources. Online web tool is embarrassingly below par.

Pros

Front Desk Agents can take part in area excursions for free -- from white water rafting to airplane tours of Denali National Park. The idea is that if you know what the excursion is like, you'll be better at selling it to the guests. You should try to book your excursions early in the summer, when there are still a lot of empty spots (paying guests get priority).

Cons

Front Desk Agents deal directly with tour groups, who are often tired and short tempered from traveling on a tight schedule. Although Front Desk Agents get a lot of free excursions (some worth hundreds of dollars), it's one of the lowest-paid jobs because you don't get any tips.
