Pros

- Team in venue become family as you are always working - Discounts

Cons

This is a company believe they are a premium product, but it is far from it!! - The venues are run down and repairs take forever - staff training a development is inconsistent to non-existent - They over promote “yes people” so the culture is vile - They believe that they pay the best, so this means they have the best. When in fact they pay less than most hospitality companies. - The senior leadership team have very little experience other than apartment group - so any new ideas are never taken to completion - Most managers workloads are filled with pointless and time-consuming tasks impacting on work life balance. - All decision must be approved by the owner who is mostly uncontactable, so guess what everything takes forever. Then your challenged to why it took so long. - The owner sets unrealistic targets based on what other businesses are delivering regardless of their business model, disregarding trends and historical data. - They charge customers service charge but DON’T pay it to the staff - No one is given a contract - There is no disciplinary policy in place (you have no rights) - Team hours are reduced regardless of the impact on their life’s - The operation works for head office and not the other way around – so you find your self doing stupid exercises to make head office jobs easier - Total “Blame culture” and “Face Fits” All in all, I would suggest you avoid at all costs…..

Pros

The staff are lovely and friendly

Cons

There is a constant expectation to meet deadlines, no issues with that, except that usual work expectations is working at 95% capacity all the time, you end up physically and mentally drained. The main issue though is that the owner will then ask for an additional investigative task to be done by an unreasonable deadline, so you break.your back to do it, finish the task and his response is essentially "great, thanks for looking into that, I'll have a look at it when I get round to it. By the way, how are you for meeting your usual deadline" You feel like you're in a constant state of deadline induced anxiety and 75% of the time nothing is done with the "urgent" work that you had to drop everything else to do. To top that off, on the time I worked at The Apartment Group, we had 5 finance directors and 3 finance controllers, so there was no sense of continuity in the upper management.
