Pros

U get almost full control on the management but final decision will be on the employer.

The employer could be very exploitive and taking advantage so you need to be firm on your ground.

The TRUTH about Best Western's Headquarters

Business outlook

Pros

Beats the unemployment line - but just barely

Cons

Employees are treated like garbage - its true. The CEO and HR seem to pride themselves on cutting costs at the employees expense, creating poor morale, and daring anyone to speak up about it. Fact - in the three years I've been with BW I have made less money every year due to benefits being cut, health premiums going way up, and a yearly "raise" that equates to less than CPI. It's true what has been said in a previous review that the executive enjoy a Cadillac health plan while continuing to screw their employees on benefits. Their excuse is Obamacare as if we're too stupid to understand the law or its implications. SHAME ON BEST WESTERN. Fact - any 5 star review on this site has been put their by BWs HR staff. If you are truly interested in considering BW as a place to work I strongly suggest you reach out to a current or former employee for the truth.
