Pros

Great co-workers, smart and caring. Decent benefits and discounts at hotels.

Cons

Pay was not so great. Long hours sometimes. Management not so responsive - some employee issues were ignored and "swept under the rug" The company used to have that family like atmosphere; employees were cared for and allowed to be innovative. The IT division grew so big, server sprawl exploded and the costs spread down to the property owners. This prompted management to take a hard look at cutting costs. The end result was a massive reorganization, outsourcing and laying off hundreds of good people. There's no sense of loyalty any more.

Pros

Great team environment with opportunities to learn hotel operations. The work is generally independent, management trusts employees to handle responsibilities, and the employee travel discounts are an excellent benefit.

Cons

Overnight shifts can be challenging, staffing can occasionally be limited, and balancing guest service with audit responsibilities during busy nights can become stressful.
