Pros

They have competitive pay and good a physical work environment (desks, PC's, etc.). Benefits are average, but are worse each year. Friendly people, for the most part.

Cons

The company has brought in too many managers who have made employees' jobs extremely stressful. The company is so micromanaged. They outsourced development teams in 2005 and there is still a lot of tension. There were very limited opportunities to grow and advance. Non-exempt employees have 'dead-end jobs'. Infrastructure staff is overworked and there is more turnover than there should be. Morale is non-existent there. A lot of talented people left the company, in hordes. They were disgusted with the way things were becoming. Poor communication by poor communicators.

Pros

All employees know one another by first name. Supervisors tend to support each other especially when you are new. Most long time employees are very knowledgeable and are helpful.

Cons

Best Westerns are privately owned businesses and management has a high turnover rate. It is unstructured and they do not have to play by the rules. There are numerous non citizens, as a results, if you are cheap labor and a hard worker you can be treated fairly. Easily management can treat you unfairly which is why management and supervisor has a high turnover rate. Depending on your negotiation skills you can be paid well especially for the location in Grand Canyon.
