Pros

I'm honestly not even sure there is one. I enjoy many of the people I work with, but feel that several are working a job beneath them - including me.

Cons

Where to begin? It's a dinosaur of a company that needs to vastly improve its entire operating system, code of ethics (assuming it actually has one), and level the entire executive team. A company focused strictly on squeezing every single penny out of each customer it can. Using old and outdated computer programs and systems, checklists and filing reports like their life depended on it. I think to put it nicely - this company reminds me of a stubborn outdated & old business man too set in his ways to realize that he is creating his own depression. Their executive management team is entirely made up of sad, pathetic workaholics, with no life and no love. Divorced, borderline alcoholics, whose children all hate them - so they no have no choice but to work all of the time. The micromanaging and amount of reporting is archaic at best and is beneath anyone who has any amount of self respect. They limit your sales budget, increase your sales goals and watch every move you make. Each manager tells you to do things a different way, and pulls you in a different direction. Its chaos! There is absolutely nothing about this company that would make me want to associate my name with it. Its sad that companies like this exist.

Pros

plenty of opportunity to move around in the company... I mean, literally move around.

Cons

They will make it seem like a promotion but really, they just need you at another hotel because they can't keep a good employee. They will pay men more and women less, for the same exact experience and jobs. (yes, even up in the liberal north" This company is full of power-hungry male-dominated management. If you don't have the personality of a cheerleader, you're considered a bad sales person. Individuality is not celebrated. Inconsistent pay throughout the company. Unfulfilled promises, low low pay, recruit college kids and make them think they are offering the world but do not live up to their "family name". The owner of the company doesn't even have a relationship with his family - so that trickles down to management treating staff like cattle and not valuable humans. They use manipulation tactics to get their way. Stay away from this company - they talk a big talk but do NOT have the resources or time to truly care about their employees.

Pros

Opportunities for inexperienced managers. This isn’t necessarily always a good thing as proven by some of Vista Host’s service scores.

Cons

Benefits are terrible. No paid time off for first year. No matching 401k. Salary is not comparable to competitors. Executive team is spread too thin and impossible to get in touch with. CEO is absent but speaks through others. Members of admin team are horrific: Speak to GMs and Sales Team like dogs although they were once GM themselves and only in industry for less than ten years.
