Pros
They put out moldy coffee in the morning. One of the f&b venue teams was the most inspired individuals I have ever had the pleasure of managing. They're off to better things now. This property did not deserve them.
Cons
Before I say anything, they clear out the f&b departments every two years. You've been warned. In my location, the following teams had been there since the beginning - finance, front desk, guest services, house-keeping, and banquet leadership. This resulted in an unchangeable culture in basically every department. Additionally, these departments thought they could cross department lines and suggest/demand things to/from f&b. The systems that had been in place for years disappeared during the pandemic resulting in a culture that allowed other departments to do whatever they wanted without asking for permission. Any time you tried changing a system or putting a new policy in change to improve the f&b departments efficiency and quality of life - it was shot down / not respected. It was a sad political toxic seniority. As a company, they take pride in their f&b spaces but the ones that are struggling might as well not exist. You hear a lot about the pride Kimpton has for their F&B spaces but they will not update, re-invest, or rebrand failing properties.
