Pros

All the staff are friendly and get on well with each other, free use of gym and swimming pool, membership discount on food & drink and beauty treatments, Best Western discount at other hotels

Cons

Long hours for poor wages, senior management take advantage of the people who work really hard, no rewards for achievements only bad words if mistakes are made, corners are cut to save money but to an extreme that means the staff can't do their jobs properly

Friendly coworkers, everyone helps each other out, left to do your job

Cons

Heard there are no pay raises, was told that every 4 months they give you $25 cash instead. Not enough workers to do the job.
