Pros

Some good people on the ground, good level of access to middle management most of the time, great clients and can meet lots of people depending on which area you work.

Cons

No real strategy, lots of bouncing between directions and goals based apparently on the whims or financial needs of the owner. Board and senior management group is a boys club many of which have "returned" after trying their luck unsuccessfully elsewhere. Lack of funds for improvements like IT or training.

Pros

The people are what make this place a great place to work, for me. Everyone, from operations, to management, to technical and catering make this place great to work at. It's really refreshing having management & team that sticks up for you and accommodates for whatever difficult situations arise, especially in the hospitality sector. Vanessa Green is really pleasant to be around, haven't heard a single negative thing about her from any level of the company.

Cons

Potential to upskill is very limited, crucial in the IT sector. Day-to-day operations make it difficult for management to implement, but the lack of formalised training and documentation (especially for IT processes) make doing my job without having a more familiar tech hold my hand at every step of the way difficult. Reliable management & team structure mitigates this issue greatly, but increases upward & outward workload.
