Pros

Overall, the company and job were great. Awesome benefits (especially the 401k). Treated with respect and not micromanaged at all.

Cons

We (approximately 75% of the corporate staff) were dropped like a hot potato when Covid took effect. No severance. No good buys. No health benefits (unless you wanted to pay full Cobra). Many staff had been with BW for 20+ years and let go via phone call, email, etc. Horrible! The higher ups all kept their jobs and fat salaries. My ratings are based on the way this whole process happened and the outlook of BW and all hotel companies.

Pros

Ever-changing events . Something new ever day.

Cons

You work with individuals who have a level of entitlement of thinking the this and that is theirs. That's t heir space, this is their drawer. You can't do "xyz" but constantly asking you to be in said space while your job is at the front desk . Not not the kitchen. Not the laudryroom or washroom. The entire things is crazy.
