Great concept, poor execution - HR Associate Empowered Hospitality Employee Review

Pros

Good pay and benefits, but you learn soon why they have to offer these to keep people.

Cons

Poor communication from leadership and clear favorites in the company. The rest don't last long. They tout a great culture, but 6 people have left in the last year (and it's a small company)- which is always explained by management as "inability to keep up". The average employee tenure shown on LinkedIn is 1.4 years. These are facts! In reality the workload can be draining in that you have to log 40+ hours each week; even though they may not OFFER you enough client hours throughout the week- leading to work on weekends. You're constantly being reviewed and offered feedback to the point where it makes it impossible to breathe and learn in the role.

Pros

Mostly remote work, scheduling flexibility, lots of independence, great team members, and fun projects in the hospitality industry (and food perks to go with them); the company is growing quickly but doing so strategically. Lots of opportunity to grow as the company continues to expand.

Cons

The company is young/small so benefits are a bit less than what they'd be at a larger firm; the projects supported tend to be smaller business so the scope of work can be also be limited.

Pros

Constant feedback on everything. From how you speak to how you create a slide to the content of your material. You learn a lot in a hurry.

Cons

Honestly you’re basically shamed into completing a great places to work survey…. But it isn’t great. It’s miserable. And everyone here is. You’d think there would be culture in a company full of HR professionals but mandatory coworking day just finds everyone unable to speak to each other because they have to reach their billable hours. Feedback starts to feel a lot like mean girls club where radical candor is more like belittling. I’m super disappointed. Perhaps this place once has culture but the only culture now is who can bill the most hours. I’ve always had fun in HR but this place has made sure to remove any fun wherever possible. Don’t forget you t sheets!!
