Pros

plenty of opportunity to move around in the company... I mean, literally move around.

Cons

They will make it seem like a promotion but really, they just need you at another hotel because they can't keep a good employee. They will pay men more and women less, for the same exact experience and jobs. (yes, even up in the liberal north" This company is full of power-hungry male-dominated management. If you don't have the personality of a cheerleader, you're considered a bad sales person. Individuality is not celebrated. Inconsistent pay throughout the company. Unfulfilled promises, low low pay, recruit college kids and make them think they are offering the world but do not live up to their "family name". The owner of the company doesn't even have a relationship with his family - so that trickles down to management treating staff like cattle and not valuable humans. They use manipulation tactics to get their way. Stay away from this company - they talk a big talk but do NOT have the resources or time to truly care about their employees.

Pros

Hands-on ownership and executive team: Upper management is very engaged and visible, which makes it easy to feel connected to the company’s direction and values. Strong community involvement: There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer and participate in community-focused initiatives, which adds a meaningful dimension to the workplace experience. Supportive sales team: The sales team is truly wonderful, collaborative, upbeat, and always willing to help. Working alongside them is one of the highlights.

Cons

No 401(k) contribution: While a plan is offered, the lack of employer contribution is a significant downside compared to industry standards. Minimal annual raises: Yearly increases are typically just a little over 2%, which doesn’t reflect performance or growing responsibilities. Meeting overload: There are too many meetings and reports, which often feel repetitive and take time away from core responsibilities. Sales vs. Operations divide: The experience differs dramatically depending on the department. Sales and Operations function almost like separate companies, with noticeable differences in support, communication, and treatment. Low pay for the workload: Compensation does not match the level of responsibility or expectations placed on employees, especially in operations.
