I got time today!!! - Front Doorman Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants Employee Review

Pros

Personable, stable, fun, I was with the company for so long that really your work experience depends on the managers that mostly come and go, and that is for every hotel tbh. So, you can have a stretch to where when you had good managers it was an amazing place to work at (Doug Sorvig, Jana Franklin, Monica Thon, Deepak Mehra) but at the same time we had some stretches of just some of THE WORST power tripping managers in the world. Really, I should give this company a 3 star review because of that, but I met Mike Defrino a couple times and he is a great leader and cool dude.

Cons

Previously mentioned, some of the managers that got their positions and leadership roles did so not on merit or even potential, it was because of cronyism and they were friends with someone, and the lack of experience showed, I had some of the worst managers I have ever had in my life while working for Kimpton group.

Pros

Good tips. Great scheduling. Easy work.

Cons

The managers aren't all that great. Some play favorites with the servers they want to hook up with. Many have big egos as they love to flex what little power they have in life over the servers.
