Cons
Within upper management, there is a very publically known, and profoundly inappropriate relationship which is causing a significant rift within the company due to extreme and excessive favoritism, unjustifiable perks and bonuses. Since the relationship is within upper management, there is nothing that anyone can do about it. Training does not exist, and neither does the training manual. You might think you're worth to more money. How wrong you are! There is very little reward for people who bring value. At these very nice hotels, you are given a per diem that covers a hotel water in your room. Once - there were tools that helped the sales people to generate more leads and close business faster. However, these tools were taken away and upper management refuses to find a solution. UNPROFESSIONAL: 1) Conduct 2) Relationships 3)Favoritism 4)Treatment of staff on the floor.
