Since it was small and not a chain, the organizational structure often felt fragile and dysfunctional. I also noticed multiple situations where people who were sort of sly and good at maneuvering could get by easily, while those who were earnest, honest and attentive to details ended up having a hard time. Since it is a unionized hotel, you would constantly hear from union staff phrases like "This is not my job," and you often get caught up in disputes between the union and management.
