Pros

I have not seen a company so understaffed. It is true it has been a challenge to hire for the hospitality world, but Highgate is very creative to find ways to reduce its labor costs: it must have a position called "creative money saver".

Cons

The company overworks its managers to a point where so much frustration is built. Managers are burned out. Highgate created these "complex" positions: HR, Revenue management, etc. The director of HR assigned to the property I work for is so overloaded because oversees 4 properties and has 1 assistant, that the hotel I work in almost never has HR presence/support. Emails go unanswered. Communication and follow-ups are lacking.

Pros

Great Pay Select Few Well Intentioned VP's and Regionals.

Cons

Overstepping and Mixed Messaging from VP's and Leadership Management Bullying is very mainstream and Accepted No Recognition or Open talk about positive Changes to department. There's a Constant overall feeling of being on the chopping block. Absolutely no life/family/career balance, you will get calls at all hours of the night/weekends. Too many PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE JOB. REPORTS. REPORTS. REPORTS. Forget trying to sell.
