Pros
WLS is very innovative, driven and has high expectations. Our direct manager was really great at coaching us and providing support.
Cons
WLS sold numerous hotels and informed the GMs by simply mandating we join a conference call that same day. We got on the call, only to hear upper managment tell us that WLS sold our properties and there was no further information and they weren't accepting questions at that time. It's very disheartening when you work for a company for many, many years and that is how they decide to deliver extreme news to their GMs. In November, GMs were told to submit bonus exceptions. We were told that even with the sale, WLS were still planning to approve some exceptions and treat it as years before. Our last day with WLS was 1/23. At this point, we had zero information from upper management regarding bonuses and exceptions. It wasn't until 2/15, that we were all notified what our bonuses would be- ONE day before payout. WLS did NOT approve any exceptions for the entire Region (of course all these properties were part of the sale).
