Pros

Learned a lot about hospitality world and skills Good manager at front office Multilingual & opportunities to grow & develop Medical benefit

Have a culture to need to take less than the provided 1 hour break time, like 15-20 mins only to show your work ethic. Though other departments don’t have that pressure Gossip runs like wildfire
