Pros

There are a few front desk shifts on weekdays or Sunday PM that aren't very tough, and could work for a college student trying to get experience in the hospitality industry.

Cons

Living on-site, woefully inadequate compensation for someone on-call 24 x 7. Constant drama and turnover from maintenance and housekeeping employees who may just have been released from prison, or first job in the country. Refusal of company to invest in non-renovated properties; not even vendors want to work for us. Poor compensation at every level makes it very hard to improve staffing or develop future managers.

Pros

For a single young man/woman very great position to have. Comes with an apartment on the property where you pay no utilities or rent. The managers and upper management are amazing! At a convention in Hawaii the CEO of the company was out on the dance floor having a good time with all the rest of the managers. Oh yeah I forgot to mention every two years they gather up all the GMs and above and take you on an all expenses paid vacation/convention. Last year was Hawaii. The daily work life is busy but easy. It comes down to building a good team and having the right attitude to work hard.

Cons

The pay is probably the number one downfall to this company. GMs are asked to do sooo much and the paychecks do not reflect that. Sure you get a free apartment, but still for all the long nights and early mornings, conferences, trips, and playing housekeepers, maintenance person, and front desk clerk; GMs should definitely have a little better pay.
