Hospitality scale up with major holes

Anonymous employee

Pros

A hospitality group with potential but unfortunately the bad outweighs any of the good. Some incredible talent across the group however most have left, have been made redundant or are exiting the business.

Cons

- Poor leadership, lots of micromanagement and reactive business practices that has created a lot of uncertainty, a toxic work culture and exhausted employees. The senior leaders are not approachable ( or around for that matter) so nothing gets addressed appropriately. - No change management which is desperately needed due to the growth the company has gone through in acquiring businesses. A lot of terrible communication and confused, unhappy employees which has resulted in the high company turnover. - Zero company culture. Its disappointing as there are so many talented and personable individuals. There are surveys submitted on this yet HR has done nothing to address. There is also no office in Sydney so expect to hotdesk at WeWork if based there. - Zero Employee Perks. You must bring your own device ( But some people get a device so I guess it depends on who your manager is). There are no team/office lunches/workshops, learning & development allowances etc.

Pros

- People are lovely - Hospitality industry is an interesting market to operate within - Exposure to other businesses and partners

Cons

- As a lot of reviews have stated, the work environment needs to improve. A lot of bullying, bad business practices and simply toxic. Some employees have developed anxiety to work. - Leaders don't know how to delegate and communicate which makes it difficult for teams to understand the company's direction and goals - Career opportunities are inexistent, employee turnover the highest I've ever been exposed to - Mostly juniors in all roles across departments to save costs, ultimately no one knows what they are doing - Pay is way lower than market standards
