Pros

Beautiful hotel property, hard to not love the Bel-Air. Encouraging engage training, fantastic cafeteria and benefits such as acupuncture/medical/dental, perks such as 3 free nights at a property, reputation of what is the Bel-Air...really on the verge of what I think will be an amazing hotel for employees and guests. Customer-satisfaction and intimate setting to truly devote to customer-care. Awesome Christmas party and incentives, like cash awards for good service. Inspiring town-hall meetings and excellent verbage / mission statement from the hotel itself.

Cons

Lack of executive management support in individual departments. No loyalty to long-term staff members, recently let go of long-term employees. Turn over in management is high. 30 hrs is considered full-time, will turn a blind-eye if need be instead of hiring or prepping staff. Set up for failure due to lack of physical resources, not always a supervisor at reach & generally understaffed hours for a given shift. Difficult to achieve more than 34 - 38 hours. Does not like to provide overtime. Hotel itself is low on funds, owned by a prince. Serve many royals and wealthy 1%, often times treated like lower class. Not always willing to tip, depending on department. demanding guests and due to the wealth, protocol changes in respect to how much a guest is spending. Can be difficult to gauge proper boundaries and when it's ok to say "no" even when request endanger employee.
