Great company. Each plant is its own entity. Not one plant is the same as the others.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent Pay and Benefits. Annual Gain Share

Cons

Favoritism between employees and management that have come from other companies which in turn eliminates those that need to be held accountable. These issues are immediately noticed by current employees which in turn kills morale and eventually production/quality. Like adding gasoline to a fire. Great policy, great teaching and idea of culture but watch out for the buddy system. I really hate to speak of the company this way because it has not always been like this.

Good, Flexible, and Fun ... Sometimes.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible Scheduling and the possibility to make good money in tips if at a good property. If at a good property, you can network and meet a lot of great people and drive nice cars. Great co-workers, but again that is dependent on the property you're placed in. (Request fancy/high establishments for better tips)

Cons

Like I said, if you have bad days or are at a bad property then tips can be bad, and you'll be stuck with minimum wage. Most valet work involves working in all sorts of weather, rain or shine.
