Pros

I honestly cannot think of a single pro working here. Possibly meeting new people from around the world was great.

Cons

Bed bugs bed bugs bed bugs. This is "normal" in hotels!? DISGUSTING. Can't use any holiday inns within 30 miles of the one you work at, that's stupid! I never got breaks EVER. It's too busy and no one's willing to let you step away. It's a LOT to take in.

Pros

The guests can sometimes be very nice and interesting people.

Cons

-The management of this place is always changing over as no one wants to work for the overbearing owner of this Holiday Inn. - The owner lets his family stay in the hotel for extended periods of time. The only reason he left is because he had a gambling problem and knew he was in trouble when guests reported a shooting in one of the rooms. - No interest from management in any career paths or development for the employees. - The list just goes on and on and on.....

Pros

The health insurance package offered is okay. Some hotels do not offer any benefits at all.

Cons

Be prepared to work a 3p-11p, then come in the next morning at 7am. Or have different days off each week. Company won't pay overtime unless you work 40 hours within THEIR defined work week, which begins on a Saturday and ends on a Friday. You could end up working 10 days in a row with no overtime. Additionally, working a double shift doesn't give overtime pay unless it put you over 40 hours that work week. During the slow periods, they will cut everyone's hours fast, rather than reduce profits for the hotel owner. This is your typical wage slave, service sector job so if you are desperate, there are probably far worse places to work.
