Pros
Pay was ok considering the poor management
Cons
I was hired to 1 Hotels after a 2-month long application process which involved 6 (!) interviews. At each interview I had to wait 30 mins - 1 hour for the interviewer to show up. I couldn’t tell if they were testing me, or if they were just totally disorganized and incompetent. It turned out to be the latter. They present a facade of being competitive and elite, but they are shallow and fake and don’t appreciate the talent of their employee base. They eventually hired me for their cafe position after the final interview, which was really like 3 interviews in one 3 hour period between the department head, then the HR rep, then the director. Then they asked for references, then a few days later called me to tell me I was hired. I was excited to join as the company offered good benefits, paid vacation, a great salary. 2 hours into my first day, upper management called a mandatory meeting for all staff, where we were informed that the food & beverage department had been bought out by a 3rd party and we would have to re-apply for our jobs in August. This was in mid-June. So basically, they advertised a temporary job as a long-term job with long-term benefits, lying to all of their employees and then laying them all off. Shady and dishonest, do not work for this company. Big waste of my time. They claim to be eco-friendly and yet there was no recycling in the entire F & B department. The eco-friendly branding is totally fake, don’t buy it. This was by far the most poorly run restaurant I have ever worked at, deceiving customers into buying low-quality breakfast, lunch and “dinner” at a high cost. They advised us to tell customers that our juice was fresh-squeezed, when it was actually from a bottle— that’s a pretty accurate analogy of the entire establishment.
