Pros

The benefits aren't bad and there are many amazing people from all over the world from every walk of life that work there.

Cons

For management, the hours are insane. I worked in the back of house and amount of work they demand does not scale well with pay at all, especially when compared to similar jobs in other industries. Also, a benefit they tout is the ability to stay at other properties for free. This is a joke of a benefit for 90% of employees as front of house staff usually can't afford to stay at other hotels as you can't stay at your home property. In addition, it's incredibly competitive to reserve a room, and you may even get kicked if the hotel becomes too busy at the last moment.

Pros

Very friendly staff. Straightforward job with good pay. Overall an enjoyable job.

Cons

Inconsistent hours. Burnout can occur if you're looking for something easy. Other than that its pretty much exactly what you'd expect. Good job to have.

Pros

Free nights Lots of paid sick time (use it; trust me, everyone uses it as extra vacation, and it fully replenishes every year) Paid holidays Good benefits

Cons

Communication is terrible; act first, communicate later. Constant shifting goalposts; it seems like, before we can nail down one new kpi or project, an exec got bored and created a new one. The brand seems to have lost its roots since the founder left. If you are in FnB, you enjoy schedule flexibility, not here. If you are full-time, you will always work 40 hours unless you use vacation, and hotels are exhausting. Trading shifts is not a thing. There's no technical training. There's a lot of mandatory training, but it only covers work culture topics. Your direct manager will rarly be available since they seem to be in a meeting every hour of the day.
