Pros

Hotel Staff members are great.

Cons

Management is a joke! Senior leadership has completely ruined any morale or job satisfaction. They have made so many cuts and people have really suffered. Used to be a nice environment to work in. But completely out of touch with who actually makes these hotels work and have put no investment in so they all look tired dated and have been superseded by local competitors. Treat staff awfully and don’t even offer maternity! Avoid at all costs.

Pros

Had the opportunity to work with some very friendly colleagues and meet interesting guests. The hotels are often old, but really grand looking buildings to work in.

Cons

Often lacked proper training to deliver the high quality of service expected. I only really learned from on-the-job training. Could have benefited from a session explaining how to make the cocktail list for example, before working behind the bar without a lot of support.
