Pros

It would not be fair to say there are no pros, however, it pays well if you are willing to sacrifice any work/life balance. Corporate works in a completely different world than the operational hotel associates and managers. These are akin to two completely different lives and companies and any reviews from Corporate should not be on the same page as hotel associate and manager reviews.

Cons

This company does not support and promote enough women in key operational and leadership roles. There are some, but they are few and far between. Ethics are not upheld as results and numbers are often more important than doing the right thing. This company also runs very lean with managers. They sacrifice quality and work/life balance in order to achieve bottom line results for ownership groups. This company does not show investment in managers and their career. They are taking over too many hotels without any or enough resources when their current hotels are screaming for help and support. So many VPs and not enough boots on the ground.

Pros

Not applicable , the company’s bad reputation is not just rumors

Cons

This company has absolutely no flexibility for employee requests however you are expected to work 7 days a week , 15-18 hour days. Medical restrictions and disabilities don’t mean anything. No compromise on their part. No recognition, No compensation, No mental health support … They will burn you out, not care how their workplace tactics affect you or your work moving forward. They will then set you up to fail then use it as a reason to start the process of getting rid of you. No empathy for people. They refuse to accommodate requests for certain people but then others, no problem. Discrimination & Favoritism, I have never met a group with such evil intentions. All their claims about employees first are farthest from the truth. They only follow policies when it is convenient for them and depending on who it’s for. It’s all about who you know , not what you know Bottom line - the company is a total scam. The less you do the better. The excuses and practices for over compensating upper management is a joke.
