Pros

Only pros came from the teams I worked directly with on property

Cons

This company has spread itself too thin financially. They can’t pay vendors on time leading to low inventory in all departments and bad business relationships. They drag their feet on renovation deadlines given by the brands they represent. Expensive benefits Low wages for employees which effects retention and well being. HR is a joke at this company. No one knows who in HR to speak too and when you reach that person, they don’t seem to know how to do their job. Quite possibly cause they are overworked from the company budgetting with hiring more/better people. Working for this company can be character building from the constant day to day slog. I would not recommend this company to anyone. Hopefully they will get on top of their financials.

Pros

Not applicable , the company’s bad reputation is not just rumors

Cons

This company has absolutely no flexibility for employee requests however you are expected to work 7 days a week , 15-18 hour days. Medical restrictions and disabilities don’t mean anything. No compromise on their part. No recognition, No compensation, No mental health support … They will burn you out, not care how their workplace tactics affect you or your work moving forward. They will then set you up to fail then use it as a reason to start the process of getting rid of you. No empathy for people. They refuse to accommodate requests for certain people but then others, no problem. Discrimination & Favoritism, I have never met a group with such evil intentions. All their claims about employees first are farthest from the truth. They only follow policies when it is convenient for them and depending on who it’s for. It’s all about who you know , not what you know Bottom line - the company is a total scam. The less you do the better. The excuses and practices for over compensating upper management is a joke.
