Pros
Excellent new GM certification program. What other company trains new GMs for 10 weeks?Lots of room to grow and promotion from within. Since this is a large company, there are many ways to be promoted and many facets of this company to find your niche. Great local support by DMs and excellent benefits and bonus structure. ESA 2.0 will also be an amazing transformation of the brand..so many good things to come. This position is not for the "sit at the desk" GM. You will have your hand in every single department and by doing so you acquire a full working knowledge of not only your hotel operations but also Sales, HR, IT, legal..etc. Very accessible Execs, which means the world to property level associates, particularly management. I would definitely recommend.
Cons
Sometimes understaffed, but that is managed at the property level so turnover mostly depends on your managerial skills.
