Pros

Best employer. The Four Seasons family is the best. From upper management to my colleagues in different sectors, I've never felt more like a true work family. I haven't had a work experience like that before, or since Four Seasons. I've always raved about my experience there. I would have continued to work with Four Seasons had the hotel not closed its doors in January 2020 due to contract extension issues. I had colleagues who worked there for as long as the hotel was open, 43 years. That is a true testament to how wonderful it was.

Cons

Not much room for promotions as there aren't many titles, at least in the food and beverage sector.

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.
