Pros

New Properties Corporate Office located in OC

Cons

The company has "7 core values" that no one follows. Everyone knows them by heart and can recite them upon demand, but they are never followed. Corporate office calls themselves "support center" but you only see them at the properties if something is wrong. All hotels are understaffed, under qualified, and generally ran on bare bones. People are hired and fired based on who they know and how well they can play the game. Experienced Hoteliers, beware... this is NOT the company for you. The lack of structure and complete chaos on a property level will drive you out of the industry.

Pros

Really good at cutting corners and protecting their bottom line.

Cons

Will demote or fire people easily for unwarranted reasons. I only got my position because they demoted a sales coordinator for not being good enough to be promoted due to unrealistic expectations. Growth within company is based on popularity not job skills. Terrible benefits. Expect you to work harder and harder in terrible conditions without complaining. Expect you to drive all over Southern California for trainings or work events. Greedy company with fake culture and values. The environment is actually the opposite of everything their core values preach. Very cheap poorly ran greedy properties. Exploits Spanish speaking employees until they quit from being overworked.
