Pros

-It's a stable and secure job, especially for a pandemic. -You get to visit other properties and enjoy new spaces and views from where you don't always get a chance to. (depending on the property you work on) -Starting pay is okay/dissent compare to a minimum wage.

Cons

-You realize you don't get paid enough to deal with a lot of flaws -you get a max of 2 weeks for a vacation after earning 80 hours of vacation. supposedly you can't cash out your vacation & sick time if you leave the company. and the max amount of vacation hours you can accumulate is around 280. -Other competitors seem to give you better deals (Based on my previous manager leaving after 10+ years working for them and another tech 3 leaving soon after) -Management has a lot of room for improvement

Management is a boys club

Pros

The thing that I like the best is the people I work with and that every day is something new

Cons

I will be honest and say I didn’t always feel like It was a boys club, but I’ve noticed something over the past few years and it’s that a number of women have been passed up for promotions on Long Island and given to men who are much less experienced and are much less qualified. If experienced females are being passed up for promotions why would any female who works around them think they will be able to move up in the company. Raises are not given unless you get promoted and the only way a qualified female is getting is if there are no males from the region applying for the same position.
