Intense environment with strong expectations but inconsistent structure
Pros
• Opportunity to gain exposure across multiple properties and operational challenges • Ability to take on responsibility quickly • Leadership is engaged and responsive in certain situations • Good experience for those early in their hospitality careers
Cons
• Compensation does not always align with the scope or expectations of roles • Roles and responsibilities can shift quickly without clear long-term structure • Reliance on temporary solutions rather than long-term solutions and career paths • Benefits and perks may be positioned as part of compensation rather than supplemental • Gap between brand standards and on-the-ground execution at times • Internal power struggles and stress that are challenging to navigate • Unspoken expectation to work as many hours as possible without additional pay including weekends
