Pros

The system is easy to learn. The people I worked with I got along with so well and I think that was the main thing that made working here so fun. My GM did a great job of making everyone feel part of a team.

Cons

Nothing at all really. But since I have to put some cons down I will say at times it will get so busy that it may seem overwhelming at first but it gets easier with practice and more experienced. Also on occasion you'll handle angry customers but you have to learn to keep your cool!

Pros

Some of the other employees are wonderful.

Cons

The rest of them are deceitful, backstabbing, unappreciative and disloyal. The housekeepers often dont change the beds betweeen guests and the desk clerk in the evening has to resolve the complaints. They bully other workers, too.
