Terrible place to work

Pros

- parking is provided - happy hour parties that takes places once in a while - lower level employees are good people - nice Christmas party

Cons

- The core values that Savoya often harp on are never applied to management. The level of disregard for employees at this company is appalling. Management show complete disregard for employees satisfaction or safety. - This company is always understaffed and multiple people have brought up to management that hiring needs to be a priority. However, Savoya's management still brags about how they only hire 1 new hire for every ~100. - There is zero room for growth or movement seeing as all the higher positions are all occupied by family members or friends of management. Growth is only lateral. - The political and religious values are rampant and is of little diversity. - The high starting pay is high because raises are very scarce and low. They are not based upon actual performance, rather it is based on how well you are liked by management and how you "serve" the "core values" - Due to the under staffing, employees are often forced to work overtime, extending hours into the 11-12 hour a day mark; meaning, no lunch break or work an hour (if not more) after the end of the shift. - The turnover rate at this company is extreme. Savoya cant seem to hire one person before they fire a few. Employees are seen as expendable and are treated as such. - Management's secrecy is disturbing. They are not honest with lower level employees at all, often lying in order to save face till they eventually fire someone. - Employees needs are not prioritized. Management will tell employees that certain popular shifts are open, however, do not give opportunities to senior employees, instead hire new ones for the popular shifts. There is certainly more cons at this company, just look at the 50+ people that are no longer with the company over this past year.

Pros

Great office and location, friendly coworkers

Cons

Management is a complete joke here. Their HR person is one person, who is directly related to upper management. Another thing, all of upper management is somewhat related and it is nepotism at it's finest. You will be required to work nights, weekends and holidays as Savoya is open 24/7 365 days out of the year. Management and the "HR" have no personality and are sticks in the mud. Pay seems high, but that is because you will be working undesirable hours and missing out on most/all holidays and special occasions as a newcomer because you will be getting the worst schedules.

Pros

Savoya is a call-center based service business in the ground transportation business. Some of the pros are: 1. Location: Has a panoramic view over Dallas downtown. Sits right across Klyde Warren Park and the Dallas Museum of Art. 2. Benefits & perks: Pay was competitive and benefits were industry average. Food and snacks served on a fairly consistent basis as a perk on busy days. Perks in certain teams are very good 3. Coworkers : Great camaraderie within your own tight knit team and life events and successes are celebrated on a consistent basis.

Cons

Unfortunately, the earlier reviews in this webpage are consistent, except for the ones chimed in by loyal management. 1. The stated value system goes contrary to the sub-culture that exists with management. As a result, the annual employee turnover rate is one of the highest I have worked for, Either you are allies with some in the management, or your days are numbered. Not the best place to work for, unless you are in a season of life before looking for a better one. 2. Not much opportunities to advance as the company size is limited, and though performance is rewarded your future depends on how you handle #1. The management structure is not flat and hence your opportunities will depend on who you know and timing. 3. Values: Savoya values are for client marketing purposes and the external service values projected do not necessarily trickle down to its employees. Overall, Savoya is a great place to work if you are someone in a season of life needing a temporary job before you settle in on a more secure one or if you are still figuring out your career options right out of college. For the rest of you, follow what your gut feeling is and take your talents somewhere else because you probably would save yourself a lot of trouble
