Pros

They are well respected within the hospitality industry and working for this company looks great on a resume - if you can suffer through the horrible corporate politics for a couple of years. They are a family first company. Though you may work a lot of hours if you need time off for family it is granted. Hourly employees are well respected and encouraged

Cons

Sage advertises amongst it's employees that they are proud to promote from within. Yet on my property alone there have been 3 different managers that have applied for Directors positions that they were at the time, fulfilling on a temporarily basis (3 - 6 months) successfully, Yet those positions were filled from outside applicants. Directors are treated like corporate Gods. Managers are required to work longer and harder hours than anyone on property and yet there opinions and job experience are routinely questioned or rejected. If anything is expressed to HR about these practices or any grievance for that matter the HR director make it her personal goal to either ostracize that employee to the point of quitting or they become fired.

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.
