Pros
The company talks a lot about “culture” and “values.” Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.
Cons
Vision Hospitality Group is, in my experience, an extremely toxic organization that prioritizes retaliation and politics over leadership, performance, or support. If you are a General Manager or senior leader who doesn’t blindly go along with the status quo, expect to be targeted rather than supported. There is little to no support for GMs, despite the constant expectation to deliver results with inadequate resources, unclear direction, and shifting goalposts. Instead of coaching or collaboration, leadership defaults to intimidation and fear-based management. In one region in particular, the Regional leadership was brand new and completely out of their depth. Rather than asking for help, learning the portfolio, or leaning on experienced leaders, this individual chose the worst possible path: random firings, knee-jerk decisions, and blame shifting. Good people were terminated without cause, explanation, or any attempt at corrective leadership. It felt less like management and more like ego protection. The environment rewards compliance, not competence. Strong leaders who challenge bad ideas, advocate for their teams, or try to improve processes are viewed as threats rather than assets. Accountability flows only downward, while poor leadership behavior is ignored or excused. Quite frankly, this company should be ashamed of how it treats its leaders. Hospitality is about people, Vision Hospitality Group seems to have forgotten that entirely.
