      Current Employee - Premier Associate in Saint Thomas, ON
      Doesn't Recommend
      No opinion of CEO

      I have been working at Starwood Hotels & Resorts full-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      Good people , sometimes get a decent commission, employee discount

      Cons

      High call volume, can't make sales on most of the calls, consider a general question from the guest as a "sales opportunity " , five supervisors in three years, most employees are not motivated

      Advice to Management

      Place was pretty good at first. Then started to dislike it .Call volume is really high with no down time when you are the " core " or SPG level. Dropped when I moved up but now with new "knowledge tier " system, it is high again. Commission can be hard to hit due to many pointless calls such as cancellations, modifications and account maintenance. Policies are never across the board, supervisors tell you different... ways and different things regarding policy. I see associates on the internet all the time yet I'm getting in trouble for it. When there is downtime we should be able to browse the internet as long as were are not looking at anything offensive or avoiding calls. Got along great with my previous sup but not with my current one. She doesn't motivate at all. Working weekends is becoming more and more difficult
