Poor management staff ruins a great place to work

Pros

The actual non management staff are great- most are easy to work with and go the extra mile when needed. The benefits are great.

Cons

Some people whom the company has chosen for management positions are not good at managing projects or people. The company is currently going through another strategic change in the very near future. There are too many managers currently working here. Unfortunately due to a hiring freeze, there is no way to bring on better talent and get rid of the poor managers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation & great benefits. Top management does a good job of proactively addressing the company culture and employee satisfaction. The hospitality industry is also fun place to be.

Cons

Slightly disparate expectations and output between offices. Some tools and support are a little clunky. Company-wide communication is still being polished. Processes and oversight sometimes compromise agility.
