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.

Pros

Pretty flexible schedule as long as you put in your 8 hours Plenty of complimentary food

Cons

The work environment is very cliquey and toxic. If you do not fit into a specific set you will eventually start to feel like an outcast. If you are not a personal favorite of management you will not even be given an opportunity to apply for any vacancies. These are usually given to friends of management with no consideration of merit or experience. One particular member of management expects employees, even those that are not their direct subordinates, to take their verbal abuse as if they are children. This has been occurring for years but this manager has yet to be reprimanded for such harassment by their superiors. Most of this manager's assistants often leave after only a few months and express an emotional relief once they are finally gone. Management micro-manages so much that supervisors that are not in management have no voice and are afraid to stand up for their subordinates when asked. This is a very small company and there is a very "family"-like atmosphere. Unfortunately, this leads to plenty of petty gossip and even the occasional invasion of privacy which management ignores. Despite constant pleas to get more work or responsibilities, management would constantly refuse me the opportunity to grow in my position or to explore other areas to the point I felt stagnant.

Pros

Corporate office will get breakfast the week that is the most stressful for everyone (payroll week).

Cons

It's all politics here and who you eat lunch with. Management is only playing favorites. Those people are the ones who get the opportunities to advance. Low pay for hard work. Nothing but work and drama. You dont get pay raises here the money goes to company lunch events and breakfast.
