Pros

If you gutting a company, not being interested in hospitality at all, or if you like lying to your employees everyday, then this is the ideal place to work.

Cons

Predatory, union busting, misinformation and degradation of management is the norm. One manager doing six different functions to cut costs. Conversion of hotels to condos is their forte. Insurance sucks if they become your hotel's management company, all senior managers will be terminated, all key employees will soon follow to be replaced by the twiggy crew from Dallas.

Pros

Only pro is that you have a job

Cons

No work/life balance. Managers are treated like the new line employees & required to do over 10 unnecessary hours with no comp days. You give 10 hours additional A WEEK for free. You don’t even get them back as a comp day.

Pros

I have no Pros to list

Cons

Where do I even begin. This is the worst "hotel company" out there. They short staff each hotel giving each employee triple the workload which is affecting the guest experience. The guests would always point out to us that we need to hire more staff which is extremely embarrassing. Everything about this company is all about the money. A true hospitality company alway puts the guests needs first but not this one. There is no work life balance here at all and you are not eligible for vacation or PTO days for the first year of employment. Highest turnover rate in management I have ever seen. If you have an opinion on a change you would like to see or to make a process better there is no point in speaking up. Nobody wants to hear your opinion and all changes need to come from the executive team.
