Pros

1 - Fantastic vision & commitment to push employees to always improve and get better 2 - Strong global reputation builds value to your resume 3 - Complimentary hotel our Seasons Hotels & Resorts all over the world

Cons

1 - Extremely slow pace for moving up; very limted opportunities for promotions 2 - Very competitive work environment especially with Division Heads (the directors) who do whatever it takes to please the Regional Vice Presidents and Corporate Office Officials as a way to move up 3 - Managers are expected to work very hard with very limited staffing and resources while pretending that this is okay 4 - Four Seasons does not own the hotels and resorts. They are just the management company. The real owners are outside investors who are stricly focused on profitability. 5 - Poor compensation package - very low salary for assistant managers and department heads 6 - Not a good fit for work life balance for students and families. You will be asked to work on weekends, holidays and fluctuating days off 90% of the time.

Pros

Great immediate management (up to department head), good travel benefits (although not as good as previous years), health insurance excellent. Travel benefits are nice when you can use them. Become better at what do you, but with an emotional cost.

Cons

Toooo profit heavy and want to please owners versus staff, worklife balance needs improvement although it's getting there. Pulse Survey results need to be taken more seriously by PC and not put on department heads and asssitant managers, need accountability on PC to action. Terrible employee meals, especially if not AM Monday through Friday. Poor corporate ELT team since post covid times.
