Terrible Corporate Leadership

Pros

The culture at Graduate used to be great. PTO and compensation are decent. Property-level leaders are great to work with.

Cons

Direction is constantly changing, it feels like, on a whim. Massive layoffs with no communication or plans put in place for other employees to absorb the labor. Employees were reassured by corporate leadership no more layoffs were coming just to lay off said employees 3 months later. Morale is at an all time low, but let's not forget to check workplace so we can see how much fun corporate execs are having while we are forced to make drastic cuts. It feels like everyone is trying to jump off this sinking ship.
