Pros

I really enjoyed my department. The recreation team was so much fun sometimes it didn't even feel like work. My manager and supervisor were fantastic.

Cons

They make you pay for the staff cafeteria whether or not you have religious beliefs that keep you from eating or allergies. The food they feed you is repulsive and poorly maintained. Maggots in the pop machine is just unacceptable. The core values of the company are great but need to be executed better. Executive leadership seems to think they are an elite group and do not seem to care to much about staff. During the slow season your full time employment get cut to part time which makes it hard to live in Muskoka.

Pros

Cafeteria offers good food for a low price. Marriott discounts at other hotels

Cons

The favoritism of employees is backed by corporate. If someone has been working here longer than you, they get to pick and choose what shifts they want. If there is an open shift they also first get to choose whether they want it or not. Lastly if there are cuts, they get to choose if they want to stay or leave before others. The favoritism doesnt stop there. The managers also make them do less sidework, and give them good sections where as new employees are the bottom of the barrel in all aspects. Honestly horrible experience. They dont care about your well being either. Im scheduled opening and closing shifts consecutively which means I get under 4 hours of sleep between shifts. Sleep deprivation is not a joke; do not recommend.
