Pros

I believe I could be great at this position. I enjoy meeting the guests and the team I am building is getting better by the day.

Cons

I get chided weekly if not more often for things I have no control over: our grab n go breakfast, which is something to "grab and GO", the fact that we have no elevator, the fact that some people find our beds uncomfortable, the fact that doors slam at night because it is a hotel, not a private residence...all these things lead to people giving us low scores which I then get blamed for. I can't fix those things; I wish I could. I am the "Assistant," yet my manager calls me to ask what to do in situations and leaves difficult tasks like removing unsavory people from the hotel and disciplining employees entirely up to me. As in, she will leave it over my days off until I come back to take care of. It's beyond frustrating as well that every time an employee calls out of a shift, I am called in. Every. Time.

Pros

Great leadership from management! My GM has really taken me under her wing and ensures I have all the knowledge & tools available to be the best I can be. She goes above and beyond for the entire staff, consistently shows her gratitude, and never asks anything of the staff that she isn’t willing to do herself! Customer service is my favorite line of work and the only work I’ve ever done. ESA is my first hotel job, and I feel so at home with the company. When I was initially hired, I was just looking for a way to make ends meet. I’ve been with ESA for over 90 days now, and I have grown to love being a part of this company. I am in it for the long haul, and look forward to growing with this company and advancing my career!

Cons

I have no cons. My employment so far has been amazing!
