Pros

Four Seasons had some of the best induction training I have experienced. Reinforce the brands standards continuously and encourage staff to meet customer exceptions through different avenues. I completed a 6 month internship with the company and was able to continue after my internship had ended.

Cons

Very political and hierarchical. I had four department managers in my time with the hotel (just over a year). I also applied for another position within the hotel through HR to expand my skills after a year with the hotel, had an informal chat with the relevant department head and never heard anything regarding the outcome of my application. Limited staff recognition which would work wonders for a company trying to encourage the highest service standards from their staff.

Pros

Very friendly staff. Straightforward job with good pay. Overall an enjoyable job.

Cons

Inconsistent hours. Burnout can occur if you're looking for something easy. Other than that its pretty much exactly what you'd expect. Good job to have.

Pros

Free nights Lots of paid sick time (use it; trust me, everyone uses it as extra vacation, and it fully replenishes every year) Paid holidays Good benefits

Cons

Communication is terrible; act first, communicate later. Constant shifting goalposts; it seems like, before we can nail down one new kpi or project, an exec got bored and created a new one. The brand seems to have lost its roots since the founder left. If you are in FnB, you enjoy schedule flexibility, not here. If you are full-time, you will always work 40 hours unless you use vacation, and hotels are exhausting. Trading shifts is not a thing. There's no technical training. There's a lot of mandatory training, but it only covers work culture topics. Your direct manager will rarly be available since they seem to be in a meeting every hour of the day.
