Pros

Their "Independence Plan" for Executive Committee members grants "unlimited" PTO from day one. Due to high turnover within the company, there is always opportunity to move and do task force.

Cons

Where do I begin... There are many Sage specific systems, procedures and processes and they do not have any real training for them. Yet, you're expected to know them all. They present unrealistic promises and budgets to ownership and then put pressure on the property level associates to meet these goals. Task force at transition hotels is a joke. Very unprofessional, gossipy, didn't know the brand and didn't know Sage. Very desperate hiring decisions were made during transition. 6 months after the transition the hotel is back to square one, only one manager is still there. Corporate/Human Resources is a joke. Complaints and concerns fell on deaf ears. Very unsupportive and "deal with it yourself" attitudes.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Many of our leaders do seem to appreciate the trust we put in our leaders to take the time off that they need via our Independence Plan. Currently we are experiencing 12% turnover year to date as a company. However, it sounds like your experience felt different. We would love to invite you to speak directly to our CPO or COO as your feedback about your experience is very important to us. Please reach out to us at myvoice@sagehospitality.com and we can arrange time for this discussion. It is through feedback like this that we can find ways to improve. Thank you.

Pros

Large portfolio of hotels with the potential for transfers and growth. Upper management is intelligent, helpful, and the layers of management help meaningfully support daily operations on the ground.

Cons

Culture varies widely by property and reality of available job growth is determined largely at the property level despite the larger portfolio. Lots of layers of management create a high level of bureaucracy that can make getting anything done a slow and frustrating process.
