Pros
Global chain, easy relocation opportunities. some great staff. Good independence working encouraged to self operate.
Cons
Every hotel its its own kingdom run differently with different cultures. Owners have no real reason to spend money as each hotel is individually owned so they wont benefit from the increase in brand reputation, this results in many run down hotel rooms and facilities. Accor prides itself on running hotels cheaper, often at the expense of guest and staff experience, prepare to spend your life apologizing for the owners decision to not upgrade the 15 year old rooms etc. Many times I've seen a promotion offered internally, only for the staff to be told that we no longer require it as a "manager position" etc so it will be the same job just no salary increase. Leaving the staff member with an increased work load but no salary increase or even title recognition, lost a few good staff this way.
