Pros

Because we are left alone to figure things out- I self taught myself a lot of hospitality experience to take to a better brand

Cons

Too many- but some top issues: company could care less if a young female working alone at night has to deal with homeless, drug addicts, and violent situations by themselves. Even after requesting security at-least on weekends, our property was overlooked. At least 10 incident reports a month for police calls. Property is at MOST a 2star, but we were expected to get 10star reviews. Leaks from ceiling, dishwasher- mold in several rooms, drunks/addicts/homeless everywhere, no way to provide customer service due to strict labor cuts. One person alone cannot do it all! Corporate is non existent if you need them - but God forbid you sneeze wrong and there they are! NO WORK/LIFE BALANCE! I’ve missed 5 years of my child’s life dedicated to ESA - disgusted with myself for giving them that much of my dedication

Pros

Great leadership from management! My GM has really taken me under her wing and ensures I have all the knowledge & tools available to be the best I can be. She goes above and beyond for the entire staff, consistently shows her gratitude, and never asks anything of the staff that she isn’t willing to do herself! Customer service is my favorite line of work and the only work I’ve ever done. ESA is my first hotel job, and I feel so at home with the company. When I was initially hired, I was just looking for a way to make ends meet. I’ve been with ESA for over 90 days now, and I have grown to love being a part of this company. I am in it for the long haul, and look forward to growing with this company and advancing my career!

Cons

I have no cons. My employment so far has been amazing!
