While working at Exhale, I've grown and learned quite a lot about myself. I'm a very driven and intelligent young person, and I'm also super passionate about Exhale and everything that they offer. I was offered a promotion to a manager position within six months of starting at the front desk, and am uniquely capable of handling tough situations with ease and grace.
So that being said, I love working at Exhale, but I feel that sometimes this willingness to help, this willingness to step up and be of service in the best way that I can, is often taken advantage of. I am often the one who steps up to take responsibility to solve the problem at hand, to show up when someone else calls out, to personally reach out to a guest, even if it's not really my job. Rather than taking that responsibility as their own, the upper management at the location in which I was hired nearly always lets me step up and take the blame, the responsibility, or the additional working hours. This is probably the reason I've grown so quickly while working at Exhale, but it often results in my feeling under-appreciated and under-supported.
This was a huge growth experience for me, and I think I've learned quite a lot about what kind of a manager I'd like to be someday.
