OK pay, employees treated like garbage, (Bloomington, MN location only)

Pros

Pay was ok. Some managers were great!

Cons

Entire business seems to be run by one power hungry person in HR. Good luck staying on longer than 1 year. No matter how good of an employee you are, you will be terminated before you are due for an increase in pay or benefits. Schedules were never posted more than 2 days before the work week. (changes frequently without warning) Was impossible to have 2 days in a row off. Sometimes scheduled for 8+ days in a row.

Thank you very much for taking the time to detail your concerns regarding your employment at our Bloomington, MN property. I am sorry you had a negative experience. We strive to ensure our Team Members feel valued and heard. Our annual Team Member Opinion Survey and the extensive follow up that occurs once we receive the results is a testament to our commitment to our Team Members. As I review the Bloomington property results for our 2014 Survey (taken in November 2014) I see overall satisfaction at the hotel at 88% and satisfaction with our Human Resources Team is at 91%. I would like to further understand your concerns and I would appreciate it if you would call me at 678-349-0945. I look forward to speaking with you. Thank you!

Pros

Great benefits No shortages of hours Willing to provide the resources needed at most levels.

Cons

Never being able to be to use PTO. I've not once been able to use mine unless it was a holiday in which I was working anyway. Worked long hours Literally told to do things from home; as an hourly associated; uncompensated. Informed upper Management (GM; Directors; Steering Committee; and HR) of being directed to take care of things while not at the hotel in hopes to receive compensation. Received write-ups for following hotel SOP (Not issuing keys to people not registered to room; and the person couldn't even provide his wives name, address, anything). Paperwork. "Davidson is the Yes; we made a form for that people". Unreasonable internal audits that the only way to pass is by faking it as the internal auditors come in.

Thank you for feedback. At Davidson Hotels and Resorts we celebrate our Team Members as our most important asset, essential to our success. We strive to provide a positive and inspiring workplace. As a matter of fact we are in the midst of our Team Member Opinion Survey process right now –hoping to understand what our Team Members think about their employment experience. As you are a current Team Member, I urge you to check in with your General Manager and/or your Human Resources Director again on these matters. If you feel that is not an option, please call me directly at 678-349-0945. I am particularly concerned about your statement regarding your pay. I would like to further understand your concerns. Thank you! Mary Powers Vice President, Human Resources

Pros

The low-level people that you work alongside are wonderful. Everyone is there to do their best regardless of issues with management.

Cons

Compensation could definitely be better, management is incredibly out of touch with what is actually needed to help the hotel's function best. Standards are entirely ignored at times.
