Pros

ESA promotes within. Great company to grow and get experience. Free Hotel Room Nights. Learning all departments; housekeeping, maintenance and laundry. Flexibility of schedule. Transfer Opportunities I really like my RDO and DM. They let me run the hotel without micromanaging every small detail. Bonus Payouts.

Cons

Upper management is unrealistic. They set targets that are ridiculous. When you meet targets, you are not appreciated. If you fall below targets, they are quick to recognize that. I wish corporate would give guest's better amenities, so the guest are satisfied. If a guest is unhappy with breakfast, it's not fair that the manager's are blamed for that. Turnover is very bad. I find myself working lots of long hours/double shifts. It is hard to find reliable associates at a quarter above minimum wage.

Pros

Great leadership from management! My GM has really taken me under her wing and ensures I have all the knowledge & tools available to be the best I can be. She goes above and beyond for the entire staff, consistently shows her gratitude, and never asks anything of the staff that she isn’t willing to do herself! Customer service is my favorite line of work and the only work I’ve ever done. ESA is my first hotel job, and I feel so at home with the company. When I was initially hired, I was just looking for a way to make ends meet. I’ve been with ESA for over 90 days now, and I have grown to love being a part of this company. I am in it for the long haul, and look forward to growing with this company and advancing my career!

Cons

I have no cons. My employment so far has been amazing!
