Pros

New head of group that gets it. Great vision, great execution. Listening culture. Whole department has been restructured and it was finally done right. I've never seen a tech department communicate so well all the way down the organization.

Cons

We are in a different building then the rest of the company, although some of my peers view this as a plus. Hours can be long. Some of the tech we have to support it a little long in the tooth. Head of department seems very comfortable with risk and failure, but the middle managers between him and I are much more conservative, and dare I say afraid for their jobs. CEO seems detached. Structure outside of IT (marketing,finance,operations) needs better leadership

Pros

The comp night offerings were great and compensation was fair. If you meet quota you get a bonus

Cons

This likely varies between properties depending on hotel management. Everyone in the events and sales departments are overworked, so employee turnover is high, which just compounds the issue. Management has difficulty accepting feedback from employees and often promotes the yes-men. No PTO in the first year leads to quick burnout
