Pros

I absolutely loved working for Choice Hotels. My manager and staff were friendly, and we really got along like a family. Hours were flexible, and there was always opportunity for a raise.

Cons

For example the booking site was not compatible with newer system software updates and created many problems in the booking Process. Also, I would like to add that on the training site some of the training material wouldn't load (I have tried on multiple computers including my personal device to be sure of this). I invested a lot of time into the training program, but was saddened
