Pros

* Working for choice hotels from 2003-2006 was a great experience. When asked what year I worked for them on the Glassdoor application above….2017 was the last option of years to select.. i didn’t work for them then. I worked there from 2003 until end of 2006. They are a good company who generally will promote from within. I worked in one of the choice properties in time square NYC. It was formerly the Quality hotel time square and then was taken over by The Night Hotel. I left the hotel Industry after leaving that job to pursue a different career path. 15 years later and it still was one of my favorite jobs I ever had.

Cons

I can’t think of any cons. Just that the property I worked at was bought out by a different franchise

Competitive pay, great benefits, and management care about people. Lots of opportunities. The company is large enough so you don't feel like a number lost in a sea of employees. Lots of opportunities to grow and promote from within the organization.

No cons for me. This is a great place to work.
