Pros

-Great benefits (health,vision,employee discounts) -Empowerment to immediately resolve guest issues

Cons

- Terrible hours, does not allow for work/life balance. - Compensation is low compared to competing hotels but expectations are still extremely high. - Culture and values are a facade and not lived up to. - Management not up to par. - Uniforms not up to par (I have seen multiple issues with sizes, tears, quality or even just not enough uniforms to go around.) -The company loves to talk about growth and improvement but is actually very difficult to move or achieve your goals for growth. - Company claims they care about their employees but its all about the numbers. - Employee dining is almost unbearable.
