Pros

chance to travel domestic and abroad

Cons

Negative working environment. No chance to grow in the company. Management does not know how to manage and at times you may be even be demoted (Operations Manager, Product Manager and Director of Hotel sales have all been demoted. Company has lost many key employees to ensure future success(Sales Manger, CEO/GM, Media specialist have all gone). Operations manager is not a good person and does not know how to lead. He micromanages all aspects of the company ins and outs. You will have little to say to help your position and he is the 'yes' man to the poorly organized owner of the company. Best of luck if you decide to work for this outfit.

Pros

We get to help bring joy into guest’s lives which is super rewarding. Current leadership is strategic, empathetic, and driven to make positive changes to the business and innovate.

Cons

It gives you serious wanderlust.

Pros

A free trip every couple years to a place you didn’t choose.

Cons

There is micromanagement and a low level of trust. They overwork employees to the point of burnout “dangle the carrot” of travel and exploit their employees’ wanderlust as an excuse to offer poor wages and benefits. Make promises of a big end of year bonus, which is unreliable and often disappointing. Managers are very cold and disingenuous. Very much feels like an old boys club with big brother looking over your shoulder. Staunchly conservative leadership - act like they care about you but all that really matters is the bottom line. No regard for employee quality of life. If you’re considering a job here because you love to travel, I suggest taking a higher paying job and traveling on our own time instead.
