Pros

Opportunities to grow if you have the right manager that enjoys seeing their employees grow, decent pay, housing discount, great company events.

Cons

Policies vary from property to property depending on who is managing. Many associates know the policies and procedures better than managers do. Some managers lock themselves in their offices all day and do not contribute to the team.
