Pros
I started my career with Synergy Hospitality in 2003 as an Assistant Manager. The fact that we have several hotels in our portfolio allowed me to develop my skills and move up rather quickly. Synergy is always looking to promote from within first and make it a priority to develop their team members. While my primary responsibility is overseeing one of our Hilton branded properties, I also oversee several departments at our sister property, and assist in training on some aspects of hotel operations at our other hotels. This is a direct result of the time and attention we get from our corporate office in developing us into the best leaders possible. The owner of our company is always available to us, as well as his executive team. They all care about our success and I feel extremely lucky to be part of such a great organization. I have many contacts all over the country in the industry. I have heard many horror stories about the organizations they work for, or just feeling like a number. I can honestly say I have never felt that way in all my time with the company. I feel like I am a part of something special and that the work I do has a meaningful impact on my team, my co-workers, and the success of the organization.
Cons
I really don't have any cons to speak of. Any issues that arise are dealt with quickly by all levels of management, from the property level all the way up to ownership. Everyone's voice is heard equally and with the same importance
