Pros

Cheerful team amongst junior management and frontline staff. Decent salary. Good benefits package. Always an interesting day.

Cons

Way overworked! 10 - 11 hour shift is the norm, with one or two 12 hour shifts each week. Middle management takes advantage of the team under them to advance their own careers. Upper management is cliquee and aloof. No consideration of work/life balance. Junior manager turnover is very high.

Pros

It provides an immediate, firsthand lesson in how not to run an organization.

Cons

This is, without reservation, one of the most dysfunctional professional environments I have ever encountered. The organization suffers from a severe deficit in foundational infrastructure: Negligent Onboarding: Training is virtually nonexistent. Compounding this, a pervasive culture of condescension ensures that any pursuit of clarification is met with overt derision and eye-rolling from tenured staff. Arrogant & Insular Leadership: Management operates with an unearned superiority complex, routinely treating subordinates as intellectually inferior while simultaneously fostering a toxic, gossip-driven culture behind closed doors. Exploitative Labor Practices: Expect to have your work-life boundaries entirely obliterated. Leadership routinely demands 16-hour workdays; anything less is weaponized against you and absurdly mischaracterized as "taking a vacation." Severe Resource Starvation: The company is so poorly capitalized (or aggressively mismanaged) that basic, critical operational assets—such as physical keys for guest rooms—cannot be procured. Anemic Staffing Levels: Personnel have been cut to the absolute bone, forcing the remaining, overworked staff to bear the brunt of systemic operational failures.
