Pros
The culture of a true location that isn't managed by a team of executives that only care about the bottom line is amazing!
Cons
When you have no support or are looked at as the bottom tier of the industry, you cannot maintain proper staffing levels which leaves management in the Loss Prevention field scrambling for help. When you are a bigger property such as a resort, this is much easier. Once you manager a staff of less than 5 people, It is a career killer as the expectation remains the same for a staff of 15. Which then means, as manager/director, your quality of life is reduced and you are subjected to insane work hours, impossible deadlines, and in the security field, safety and security is only a top priority once something happens that makes the hotel look bad. Corporate Integrity Investigations also sides with property HR directors to protect them at all costs in the event they are reported. In all, you are on your own.
