Flexible schedule Travel discounts Great for students Growth opportunities

Cons

Someone needs to review General Manager work ethics and conduct. Please review the following information. - she only hires family and friends. Family friends get Employee of quarter. When other front desk staff and housekeepers are working endlessly for the hotels success and guest can have a comfortable rest. - Manager would do house parties with employees - When one of her friends is challenged at the site she would be very biast. She would show favoritism and share it. - Employee would no call no show more than 1ce or 2ce a month without any kind of documentation. Than she would cover the shifts or have assistant working doubles and triple shifts. You were always overwhelmed, overworked and poor gratification. - Employees be over worked in back of the house, with no support or little help. - No maintenance staff. He goes home by 3pm, - Front desk staff would not be relieved for breaks. - Shortage of supplies- never ordered enough so she can stay under budget. Any guests all the time. - She would inform guests of work confidential information about employees and say “just between you and I” - There is an open door policy which is shared with other close friends who work with her. Becomes a loyalty pattern, “you scratch my back and I will scratch your back” - proof of retaliation and harassment on job of few employee. - Never got a weekend off. Always was told you are my assistant for a reason. - She would invite the hotel guests over for dinner with her husband. - She loves to give hugs, nice big warm hugs. There are no boundaries between guests and employees. Highgate should be sued for sexual harassment. - Ethics of conduct was never a policy in this workplace. - Emails are available as proof. - as long as you are her Facebook friend, you will never have a disciplinary action. - Maintenance never held accountable. Comes and goes as pleases. Rooms are dirty with mold and needing maintenance repairs. Rooms are not on a PM schedule. Mostly sits in GM office and supervises housekeepers. Great at being a porter but thats about it. - Housekeepers on cell phones watching videos and chatting with family while working. Cleaning 8 rooms takes 8 hours or milking the clock. Breakfast storage was a filthy mess. Seen roaches and ants everywhere.

Pros

Not applicable , the company’s bad reputation is not just rumors

Cons

This company has absolutely no flexibility for employee requests however you are expected to work 7 days a week , 15-18 hour days. Medical restrictions and disabilities don’t mean anything. No compromise on their part. No recognition, No compensation, No mental health support … They will burn you out, not care how their workplace tactics affect you or your work moving forward. They will then set you up to fail then use it as a reason to start the process of getting rid of you. No empathy for people. They refuse to accommodate requests for certain people but then others, no problem. Discrimination & Favoritism, I have never met a group with such evil intentions. All their claims about employees first are farthest from the truth. They only follow policies when it is convenient for them and depending on who it’s for. It’s all about who you know , not what you know Bottom line - the company is a total scam. The less you do the better. The excuses and practices for over compensating upper management is a joke.
