Pros

One does not exert physical or mental energy with any job within the corporation; this includes employment on the corporate level. If you are lazy and have no initiative you will be a wonderful fit. Training not needed if you have a GED or fall within the normal cognitive abilities of mankind. Opportunities to work with local organizations to make a positive impact in the community.

Cons

The "culture" is expounded by wolves dressed in dainty sheep skins. Being a small family owned business they have limited resources and allow personal feelings to be involved in business making decisions. Their partnership with Marriott is minimal but does help Corporate fill their pockets with the rewards of selling a substandard service to the unsuspecting consumer. The benefits are typical of a low wage working environment. Simply stated, they are not worth considering if you have a family or are considering one. The HR department is very typical of modern trends allowing them to operate with way too much power. This companies HR is a fine example of servants thinking they are masters. The wages are low and have great potential to lead to a future filled with poverty and socialist government programs for you and your loved ones. They DO NOT promote from within. Leadership is pumping a bull full of laxatives.

Pros

Serving as General Manager at the Grand Bohemian Hotel Mountain Brook has been an incredibly fulfilling chapter in my career. Over the past year, I’ve experienced a remarkable balance between professional growth and personal well-being. I’m proud to lead a team that’s not only talented but genuinely collaborative and inspiring. The unwavering support from our corporate leadership has empowered us to elevate the guest experience and strengthen our culture. It’s been a journey defined by purpose, passion, and progress.

Cons

Some modification to benefits on the medical side would be good. Otherwise very happy.

Pros

Similarly very diverse seemingly wonderful culture

Cons

I was hired at almost 2 dollars less than the people that were hired a week before and a week after me. Evem with 5 plus years in hospitality. Within 3 days I was degraded in front of a guest. So bad that they wrote about their experience. Nothing was done. After a meeting with H. R the person who actually did the degradation try to retaliate against me. And said that I threatened and made them feel unsafe.. you can try to pull the anger man card. So after checking cameras and doing their investigation, I'm still employed. I still work with this person. I don't feel safe because this person has lied on my name. Once and I'm sure we'll do it again. How is this allowed to happen with HR? And all the established rules and regulations
