Pros

NONE - If you value your career in hospitality stay away from this company.

Cons

1. The most unprofessional company I have ever work for 2. The most disorganized company I have ever work for 3. The most disrespectful company towards employees I ever seen 4. The worse work environment I have ever seen 5. The Worse HR Department I have ever seen 6 They expect you to work 16 hours a day if you are salary 7. This is a third world country sweatshop, and they use smoke and mirrors to attract a labor force 8. In my short year there I saw 30 people quit just in one of their Hotel properties 9. They are completely reliant the old and dated technology, they won't spend any money on providing you the tools to do your job 10. The worse salaries in the Hospitality Industry, They love BoZos because they will take any salary and don't do any work

Poor Management Attitude from the Top

Pros

The company is very good at making investment profits. They offer decent compensation, but have scaled back on benefits packages considerably in the past few years.

Cons

Senior management is run with a severe God Complex, ruling by fear and disregarding any constructive criticism. Executive management views the company as theirs only with all other associates working for them, not as peers or a team, but simply as expendable staff. They organize nice dinners and sports outings for a select group of 7-15 executives/managers, often making the plans known to the entire office. They do not develop associates nor follow any steps to promote high achieving individuals; instead they increase salary to get people to stay on. They fire people constantly, so everyone who works there keeps their mouth shut in order to stay employed. HR often says things like "people should not complain because they are lucky to have a job right now", "have you seen the unemployment lines out there?" and "anyone of us can be let go at any time." This type of attitude coupled with high performance expectations does not foster a positive working environment. Overall, it is a very uncomfortable work environment and not a place where you can count on being developed.
