Pros
The culture of Ritz-Carlton really fosters growth and respect among the employees which I feel creates momentum to transfer that respet into the community at large. Workin for Ritz-Carlton can really change your life. You have unbelievable opportunities to learn and develop skills that will be valuable to you in any job. The global aspect of the company really is exciting. To know that you could one day be working in Portugal or in Argentina or in China when you've come from a smaller hometown is incredibly exciting. When I wake up in the morning (rather early), I am actually happy to go to work!
Cons
There isn't a whole lot of opportunity for salary growth within a given period of time. If you are interested in making a lot of money, the hospitality/service business in general isn't the place for you, but you've probably got the best opportunity at Ritz-Carlton. The culture can be a little overwhelming in its bubbly, cheesy kind of nature, but when you think about it, it's really the type of culture we would all actually like to live in. Unfortunately, some of the employees either take the culture too far and seem insincere or tricked Human Resources into thinking they embraced it when they truly don't. It's rather difficult to find something negative tosay about Ritz-Carlton.
