Pros

Uniforms are cleaned and pressed each day. Very diverse. There are not very many good things I can say about this location.

Cons

Overworked and underpaid. Different benefits for certain positions. Corporate employees enjoy great benefits and cooks, housekeeping, and etc were considered Union employees with low grade benefits. Men sat around and watched women lift HEAVY commercial equipment and didn't ask if they needed assistance. SLAVE drivers, no recognition for hard work, and threats of termination made on a regular basis due work NOT being to their expectations. NO career progression. I wouldn't suggest anyone working in the kitchen. It was the absolutely worse work experience I have ever had in my 20 plus years in the work force.

Pros

The location in Belltown is good, very close to downtown."

Cons

Workplace abuse and lack of empathy in Housekeeping I want to share my account as a former employee to warn future workers and to prompt senior management to take action. The atmosphere in the Housekeeping department is extremely hostile due to a complete lack of empathy and the abusive behavior of two individuals: the department head and a supervisor who has only recently taken on the role. This new supervisor constantly abuses her authority and seems to take pleasure in humiliating and mistreating new hires. She lacks both patience and professionalism, and all of this happens with the backing of the department head, who allows these abuses to continue rather than correcting them.It is a real shame, because there is another supervisor at the hotel who has been in her role much longer and is the exact opposite: a woman with immense empathy who is extremely kind, patient, and respectful toward all the staff—especially the new hires. Unfortunately, the work experience becomes unbearable due to the arrogance of the boss and the new supervisor. I hope hotel management pays attention to this, because they are losing valuable employees by failing to put a stop to the abusive behavior of these two individuals.
