Pros
Good benefits, job security, I feel valued and it's a good work culture. Embraces diversity which I think is important considering the current state of affairs in the US right now. They moved Assistant Managers to hourly so we can earn overtime but we didn't see a decrease in pay from what we were making. I feel I'm making more, as long as I continue working hard. I have opportunities to grow and gain experience in different areas of the hotel to feel more well-rounded. I'm certain I'm happier here than associates at competing hotels - I think more emphasis is placed on care in general.
Cons
Lately a lot of focus on cutting spending and labor which makes sense but it doesn't align well with the care culture we are supposed to provide for our guests and our associates. You need to be fully staffed and compensate fairly to provide excellent service and I feel like cutting heavily and having too aggressive a budget doesn't leave hourly associates feeling secure or us managers feeling supported - more stretched thin. But I imagine it feels like this in hotels everywhere right now.
