Pros
If you perform, you will get promoted. Big on recognition and constant feedback and communication from corporate leadership. Very sales-oriented and constantly preaching to protect sales' time and empowerment.
Cons
HR issues - Many situations of extreme inappropriateness from corporate level and GM level leaders are swept under the rug. Sometimes I wonder if Aimbridge will get sued someday for the number of things I've seen and heard that were ignored by corporate HR. Promotions - it is not always performance based, but mostly rapport based. I've seen many terrible managers move up based on relationships with corporate management, and many qualified candidates go unnoticed despite excellent performance. Tends to be a "boys club" at the corporate level. Many regionals/executives are in their roles based on relationships rather than qualifications, which is a disservice to the properties that depend on them for guidance.
