If you want to make a living don't waste your time at a Holiday Inn
Pros
They'll hire anyone full time , and if they don't hire you FT , give it a week and you will be, turnover is off the charts high.
Cons
Horrible work environment, low wages, no respect for anyone, violates nearly every basic human right as set for by the United Nations (not just for this country). Relies on a handful of responsible employees to carry the work load (if you have a good work ethic don't waste it here, you'll just be taken advantage of). No performance reviews, no raises, no health benefits even for FT employees, no 401 k, no savings plan, no opportunity for advancement, used to have vacation, but place was sold and new owners saw fit to take it away (but hey, after nearly 10 years of service I'm sure they're not benefitting from anything I've learned right ?) And I could go on, but those of you reading this get the jist by now. And if you have kids contemplating going to school for hospitality, please encourage them in another direction, because this industry is starved for bright minds and they certainly don't need an education to work in it. Don't let them waste their bright mind here. As I've said, I could go on, but there would be volumes to write. What is my intention ? I sincerely hope that I've encouraged others to take a different path to something more fruitful, satisfying, and that can actually lead to something for them. Don't waste any of your time at this establishment or this industry in general.
