Pros

Secure work and opportunity to move locations. Good Benefits but they are costly Worked with some good hourly associates and good peers.

Cons

Upper Management does not care about anything but the bottom line. People are not treated fairly. They don't pay decent wages to the hourly staff and cut back on hours. Hard to maintain a motivated staff. Benefits are costly and wage increases are low if you receive any.

Pros

fairly steady hours The pay is ok (but just ok) They offer employees a meal allowance ($16 out of your check every 2 weeks, but $7.40 for meals per day)

Cons

There is a serious lack of training offered to new employees, especially in event planning. New planners are thrown into the deep end, which causes the chain effect of problems for other teams like my own. There are very few advancement opportunities, or opportunities for learning offered. There's a great deal of "the good old boys club" to deal with. If you aren't of the same interests and immature state of mind as middle-management, good luck getting anywhere in the company. Manaent rarely goes to bat for you.
