Pros

Macromanaged - the managers aren't constantly over you. This may suit some better than others. For me it is a plus. HR has created many different ways to recognize staff members for their work. The team is friendly and the staff within different departments are also very friendly. There is a sense of togetherness and a team. Management is nice.

Cons

Because the management is in the office rather than on the floor, the standard of service is a bit low for a 4 star hotel. I felt there were some staff who were slacking a bit. But somehow there was no staff tension. And therefore this goes unnoticed.

Pros

I really enjoy all the activities and festivities the do for employees from theme celebrations, ice cream trucks and children’s party for the employees children. Besides that the hotel has had many accolades and good atmosphere and it’s feels like everyone is like minded. Good benefits, close to metro and other perks are very nice.

Cons

Management can sometimes not be at the same channel and there are some miscommunication issues, some benefits could be better like hybrid schedules and complementary hotel stays. Lockers can be improved.

Pros

Some very nice old school full service perks - breakfast and lunch and dry cleaning, etc.

Cons

The turnover rate is extremely high, even for the hospitality industry. The main reason seems to be that the working environment is not pleasant or supportive. Management seems very brittle and not happy. It is never a happy or pleasant place to be. The physical location of the office was in a basement, no light, cold and damp.
