Pros

Most of the people I worked with were very nice and supportive. They had good medical / dental and perks that came with the job.

Cons

This is the worst hotel management company I have ever worked for. Management tends to be strictly directive, and give orders without really giving much explanation or context, and did not empower their employees to do basic tasks that most hotels would allow. This resulted in aggravated guests, and employees having to either make up a story as to why this is and how that is, since the only other reason they have is "because my manager said so." This is not how a hospitality operation should run. This was reflected in our service scores. On top of that, since people cannot make a decision, that means that they need upper management to help them - but those managers are almost nowhere to be found, because they are on the other side of the property handling something that the team member should have been allowed to handle (but didn't, for fear of being written up).

Pros

The people you work with (not including supervisors, management, etc) are supportive and make the day go by quickly. Most of the guests make the job worthwhile, as well.

Cons

Management seems to look down on everyone working below them; definitely on a power trip. Not enough training is given and this causes mistakes to be made.

Pros

Decent work life balance and flexible schedule. Good location to kickstart your career in hospitality.

Cons

Poor benefits and pay with no 401k incentive. Little management reinforcement throughout departments. High school like drama/gossip throughout management and employees. Hugh turnover throughout departments.
