Pros

Great company for growth & development. Rapidly expanding & focuses on developing internal employees. The company has a great future & you can't go wrong with a job at Highgate.

Cons

Due to the rapid growth the standards are strict and expectations high. It can sometimes feel like you're just a cog in the machine and it's up to the individual properties to alleviate this aspect of the corporate culture. Only holidays are earned after the probationary period. No sick/pto/vacation time for a year which can make getting through it very exhausting. People have to come to work sick or not get paid for the day.

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.
