Pros

Good benefits Great seniority program especially for lower tenured entry employees

Cons

Incapable and clueless corporate level employees from payroll to HR to purchasing to AP. No guidance or answers on property challenges. Frequently had to involve multiple people in a department for something that should be a simple task like finding a vendor or applying an approved wage increase to an hourly employee. Very little support from above property managers on progressing a career. Will ignore qualified internal candidates to support demands from less effective and unqualified personnel. Poor internal practices like a manager leaving one Highgate hotel to go to another, then taking all the employees from the old hotel to the new one leaving that hotel understaffed and underperforming.

Pros

Not applicable , the company’s bad reputation is not just rumors

Cons

This company has absolutely no flexibility for employee requests however you are expected to work 7 days a week , 15-18 hour days. Medical restrictions and disabilities don’t mean anything. No compromise on their part. No recognition, No compensation, No mental health support … They will burn you out, not care how their workplace tactics affect you or your work moving forward. They will then set you up to fail then use it as a reason to start the process of getting rid of you. No empathy for people. They refuse to accommodate requests for certain people but then others, no problem. Discrimination & Favoritism, I have never met a group with such evil intentions. All their claims about employees first are farthest from the truth. They only follow policies when it is convenient for them and depending on who it’s for. It’s all about who you know , not what you know Bottom line - the company is a total scam. The less you do the better. The excuses and practices for over compensating upper management is a joke.
