Pros

Almost none unless you like to travel and be constantly berated from a Narcissist. The only good that will come from this job is that you can use big brand luxury Hotel names on your resume to bounce out of this horror house and get better pay. The one and only positive review sounds and reads how Steven talks. Self-review anyone? Also notice how the poster blames everyone else for problems where they said in the recommendations to management "Find a way to filter the C players PRIOR to hiring"? Typical Steven. Typical narcissist.

Cons

Owner aka Project Manager will yell at you and blame you for his shortcomings. Typical Narcissistic behavior. Constant turnover due to the above. Pay is 25-40% lower than similar jobs. Lots of travel. Expected to work long hours, often 50 hours per week or more. No comp-time for weekend work or traveling for work. Often expected to travel on your weekend so you can work the full week.

Pros

Nice office, clean, good food for lunch

Cons

There is not one good thing that I can say about them. I left a excellent job after being offered a very nice job package. Within one day of starting the insults and belittling started. I was in tears the whole one week I worked there. Finally I get a voicemail from the owner saying he wanted to talk to me . Fired!!!! Why I wasn't working hard enough. Really no training its like working in a morgue.

Pros

The co-workers are genuine good people. I feel very sorry for them that they have to deal with the owner on a day to day basis.

Cons

I will not tell my story because the owner will probably retaliate. Yeah, he is that kind of guy. Read the other reviews. They are all true. If anything they are holding back for the same reasons I am. Actually I will say a few things that I experienced. Crazy hours with no breaks. Redundant tasks just to get off by telling someone what to do. Uncomfortable conference calls in which the owner tells everyone they are idiots. I actually had a client tell me a story about you. When she said how she was complaining about your leadership style to you over the phone you threw a childish temper tantrum and hung up the phone on her when you couldn't handle the truth any more. The owner will dangle the term "bonus" over your head like a carrot leading a horse but will always find a way to not give it to you. He will dock your pay for very minor mistakes. His philosophy is that we are allowed to make zero mistakes. He will compare you to his favorite and best employees telling you how much better they are than you and how they could have done a better job. If you have the unfortunate experience of having to drive cross country he will impose unhealthy time limits on you to get to your destination. He will put you up in sleazy motels in unsafe locations just to save a buck. He will even cram three men in a room with only two beds telling them that someone has to sleep on the floor. This is not just for a night but weeks at a time. I could go on but I think I have said enough for now.
