Business Outlook

Pros

awesome growth opportunities at the company across all departments. necessary to be ready for a true "start-up" environment (i.e. every day will be different, many will be stressful, many will be rewarding). leadership looks out for their employees and is receptive to feedback on the business / strategy.

Cons

can be overly demanding sometimes, but nothing out of the ordinary for a market-place startup - especially one in the hospitality space
