Pros

Best culture and company beliefs out there, truly makes you proud to be Ritz-Carlton. Co-workers are for the most part amazing ladies and gentlemen to work with.

Cons

I literally was on the verge of divorce because of the hours I worked. I barely got to see my spouse or speak to my parents on the phone. My doctor told me to quit because of the health problems I was experiencing i.e. breathing problems, nervous symptoms. Working 7am to 6pm one day, my boss asked why I was taking a half day. Six day work weeks, 12 hours a day, and a ridiculously meager salary. I got paid in smiles and invective.
