Pros

The people on-property are largely wonderful people and a joy to work with.

Cons

The Corporate office is brutally cut-throat and will work you as hard as you let them before discarding you at the first sign of faltering. I worked in the home office for about 9 months to rave reviews from peers and business partners. Over the summer, I took emergency leave to get my mother life-saving care, which was initially encouraged and supported by senior leadership. When my mother recovered, and I returned to work, I was fired for not getting the job done while I was gone. I mean, if you can’t do your job when your mom is dying, when can you do it, right? HR later confirmed to me that because I wasn’t on protected family leave at the time, I was still responsible for the work. The thing is, Sage was legally obligated to let me know my rights around Colorado’s FAMLI Act within 5 days of learning about leave that would qualify for protection (mine qualified). They never did, and I didn’t learn about the FAMLI Act until after I was fired. Later, the leader who initially supported my leave was also fired. I have an active complaint with the State for Colorado FAMLI Act violations.

Pros

Great people, strong culture, and exposure to a wide variety of hotels, restaurants, and ownership groups. I had the opportunity to work with talented colleagues who genuinely cared about one another and the success of the company. There are opportunities to take on meaningful responsibility, and if you’re willing to work hard, you’ll gain tremendous experience.

Cons

As the company has grown, some departments have become stretched thin, and processes have not always evolved at the same pace. Teams can spend significant time reacting to day-to-day priorities, leaving less time for process improvement, automation, and strategic initiatives. Workloads can be demanding, particularly during peak periods.
