Pros

Most of the people are great to work with.Chance to go out of town to work to open other hotels.This particular Ritz is managed by Four Seasons.Free meals and uniforms

Cons

Upper management has little or no idea what goes on in depts. outside front of the house.There is a need for them to micro manage those departments.Atta-boys are frequently given to the wrong people.Little or no warning of impending lay-offs or less hours.It seems the longer you're there the more you get away with, performance wise.
