Business Outlook
Pros
Flexibility in scheduling; good seasonal money.
Cons
I was passed over for promotion 3 times because I was viewed as someone who wanted to bring change to a department that badly needed a makeover. This is frowned upon by management. In the business world, the term is "over-qualified". Rather than rewarding those who bring fresh ideas to the table, Grove Park Inn does the opposite--continue with the status quo. Apparantly, my 15 years of room service experience was deemed a threat and certain managers were afraid of being up-staged by a smarter hourly employee. Ever heard that before in the business world?
