Pros
My time at Highgate has been incredibly refreshing. The Highgate community feels warm and welcoming, and there’s a true sense of belonging that I’m grateful to now contribute to at The Elser Hotel. It’s also a highly competitive company, and I really value that we don’t just focus on recruiting talent, but on creating real opportunities for growth and development that help our team thrive and stay with us.
Cons
Consideration for PTO accrual not to be strictly based on a 40-hour work week, as hourly associates aren’t always able to control reaching those hours due to occupancy and forecasting. This can impact their ability to earn time off through no fault of their own. I also believe making vacation time available after the first six months would feel more aligned with their initial trial period and be greatly valued by the team.
