Pros

Extremely fast growth; advancement is likely. Good place to become a manager with little or no college education.

Cons

The hospitality side of Towne Park is a 24-7 business 365 days per year. Account Managers will often work 7 days per week as your phone and email will constantly need attention on your (few) days off. The salary is not commensurate with the hours and duties expected. Account Managers have to meet all client and guest expectations, outlined in your job description, but what's not described is Towne Park's tedious, often redundant, corporate metrics. Their claim to value operational excellence is undermined by the constant roadblocks that prohibit true productivity. These impediments range from inessential conference calls and meetings, to tracking basic job duties because the District or Area Manager is stretched too thin to be on site. If you are successful at this position, you will be qualified to run almost any business as you will have to become adept in all areas of the business including: Financial Management (Full P&L responsibility) Human Resources (All hiring, firing, and associate discipline) Client Relationships (All hotel brand standards, plus all Towne Park requirements. This job is similar to running two businesses) Customer service (You will handle all guest issues- not matter what time of day or night- including auto claims ranging from vehicle damage to theft) All of the above is expected on an average salary of $45,000. Good Luck.

Pros

Depending which location you work at and who your manager is, it's a decently low stress job. You sign the person up and park their car. So as long as you have decent customer service skills and driving ability, it's an easy gig. It's great if you prefer a job where you get to be outside. Getting cash tips every day is really helpful, especially for those of us living paycheck to paycheck. If you work at a location that's slower, they'll usually offer a higher base pay to make up for the lack of tips. They offer a discount through Shoes For Crews, though the quality is meh. Depending where you work, work/life balance is pretty good. My manager was very flexible when it came to asking for time off for anything. But it depends who your manager is.

Cons

You have to work in the cold, heat, and rain. Lots of sun exposure, so if you're worried about skin cancer, maybe pass on this job. Depending how busy your location is, you are on your feet constantly and wearing your body down. If you work at a hotel where the business is very seasonal, you may not make much money at all in the colder months (but tips at the hospitals are steady year round). The benefits are horrible. The medical insurance is mediocre and overpriced. They don't do raises, so expect to make the same base wage the entire time you work there. Upward mobility in the company can be difficult, and even then the management positions don't make much more money than team leads but have a lot more responsibility.
