Pros

Decent pay and fun job as a hotel mystery guest - not easily replicable as they are losing their biggest accounts

Cons

Constant changes to the compensation plan i.e. disallowing the first and last hour of commuting for the week, complicated food reimbursement, micromanaging hours to limit overtime. no real progression

Pros

There were some nice colleagues which made the day go better.

Cons

Where do I begin, quite possibly the most toxic and chaotic environment I have ever experienced globally. Inexperienced and micromanaging leaders who do not have a clue how to mentor, coach or lead. Bullying is the norm, no training and processes to speak of. You will be thrown in the deep end without a life jacket and then blamed for drowning. When you have worked for professional organisations, this one is an eye opener. Oh, don't bother getting sick and expecting reasonable adjustments, they will just terminate you.
