The salary and the location

The 60 hour work weeks with no break for lunch because the volume of work is so massive

Step outside the corporate office to get a true look at how the hotels are managed when you are not onsite

Pros
Decent benefits. Opportunity for growth, they always have job listings available for you to transfer to a new property anywhere in the country. Cheap employee rates at company hotels too, if you're traveling.
Cons
They come in hot making changes, swearing up and down that they are going to improve your hotel. "BIG REMODEL COMING! LOOK FORWARD TO THAT!" was all they talked about during their acquisition. Made a few small changes and flipped the property. It happens in the hotel industry, and I think they just took on more than they knew that they were getting into when they acquired the hotel I work for.
Advice to Management
Less micromanagement. Let your staff do what they're supposed to do.
I worked at Davidson Hotels & Resorts (Less than a year)
Pros
I did not witness any positives during my employment period. There were many staff resigning or getting fired.
Cons
They claim values but is just words on a piece paper. Management do not practice it. I personally witnessed a conflict issue that was brought to management . Management pushed it back to the staff and told them to resolve it through law enforcement. Is ridiculous.

I have been working at Davidson Hotels & Resorts full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Some great coworkers on team
Cons
Mediocre hotels in group
Job insecurity
Lack of diversity
Leadership team has no work/life balance
Old fashioned and lacking technology
Bad reputation in industry
Advice to Management
The selling point of this company is how long people have been with the company as if it is a strength. It isn’t. People don’t leave because they are comfortable and not admired in the industry enough for other companies to want to steal people away. It’s been clear for some time that investors aren’t happy and most of the hotels in the group struggle. Might as well change the name to Pivot. Things are getting worse, not better.

Pros
At least in our region they were wonderful with promoting from within and growing their leaders. Benefits and salary were good and competitive. Training was also great and processes were fairly clear. Hotels in our city had good communication and stuck together.
Cons
Witnessed them terminate loyal leaders fairly quickly at one property. Leaders who had been with the company 3-5 years were being dropped like flies. Perhaps it was the specific property but it's sad to see such great growth and then little support to keep those leaders on board. Also work/life balance wasn't as great as other companies.
Advice to Management
Obviously if an employee violates a major rule - termination is expected. If a seasoned leader is struggling in a role support and/or training would be wonderful or even looking for moving said employee. Loyalty to a company should be valued. Lastly required management hours seem to nickel and dime you on your time. Most hotels are 8-5, this company requires 8-5:30 which can make work/life balance just slightly harder to achieve. Seems like a small detail but it makes a huge difference to some.
