Pros

Working with great people. Guests are nice for the most part. Neat travel perks.

Cons

The pay they give us doesn’t keep up with inflation or rent increases. About a year or two ago they increased parking rates but our pay stayed the same. Our department is the first and last the guests interact with and we work hard to make sure our clientele is satisfied. Our hotel has the highest rates in the whole city of Seattle but if you look at other hotels around the area they are paying their valets more. They expect us to give 5 star service for 3 star pay.

Pros

Very friendly staff. Straightforward job with good pay. Overall an enjoyable job.

Cons

Inconsistent hours. Burnout can occur if you're looking for something easy. Other than that its pretty much exactly what you'd expect. Good job to have.

Pros

Free nights Lots of paid sick time (use it; trust me, everyone uses it as extra vacation, and it fully replenishes every year) Paid holidays Good benefits

Cons

Communication is terrible; act first, communicate later. Constant shifting goalposts; it seems like, before we can nail down one new kpi or project, an exec got bored and created a new one. The brand seems to have lost its roots since the founder left. If you are in FnB, you enjoy schedule flexibility, not here. If you are full-time, you will always work 40 hours unless you use vacation, and hotels are exhausting. Trading shifts is not a thing. There's no technical training. There's a lot of mandatory training, but it only covers work culture topics. Your direct manager will rarly be available since they seem to be in a meeting every hour of the day.
