Would Not Recommend! - Anonymous employee Evans Hotels Employee Review

I worked at Evans Hotels for many years. Company culture is weird. They tried to implement a corporate social responsibility program to make employees feel heard and involved. I give them credit for trying, but it was pretty disorganized and at the end of the day, leadership vetoed many of the great initiatives the employees tried to implement. This program came to a screeching halt shortly after Covid hit. This is a small family-run company with very weird politics and policies. Unfortunately, you can't trust management and when you need them the most, they won't support you. Management will micromanage you until you're miserable and there was a lot of turnover in my dept. because of this. I worked with many poor communicators who never knew what they wanted and this caused much confusion, miscommunication and unnecessary stress on employees. Most in VP or director-level roles have been there for 20, 30 + years and are very resistant to new ideas and perspectives. The most vocal owner is an odd, unstable person to say the least. This person leads with fear, a real Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde type individual who will say the most inappropriate things without any repercussions. Overall I had experiences ranging from good to extremely awful while working here. I would not recommend, especially if working in a corp. department where you would be exposed to the politics and chaos.
