Pros

It gets you used to fast paced hospitality jobs The staff there do care and are welcoming and helpful

Cons

The pay is not in line with other hospitality jobs so many people use it as a starter receptionist job and leave after they’ve finished training, causing a constant stream of people coming and going. Because most receptionists are new at all times the level of service they can give isn’t as high as it should be, and they have to rely on management to help out whenever something goes wrong. The hours are long and because of understaffing they often ask you to do overtime Because of understaffing you are working a lot harder then you should be, and the environment is stressful and sometimes chaotic. Get used to being complained at 24/7 as the hotel is starting to show its age.

Pros

-High pay, daily and weekly overtime, commission program -Unionized -Benefits include health, vision, dental, limited laundry service, TransitChek -Nontraditional schedules allows for other jobs, activities, school, etc

Cons

-FOM as of this writing always effs up the schedule -Poor communication from management about schedules, changes, programs; unapologetic about it...you'll be blamed for their mistakes -No employee handbook except basic HR policies, so things often learned on the fly, late in the game -Incompetence rampant among directors; never hear from them, just bear the brunt of their mistakes -HR deathly slow about issues you bring up to them -Management seemingly unaware of union rules so keen to break them for their benefit -24/7 culture means working odd hours (graveyards, holidays, weekends etc) -Owners live in Malaysia so difficult to reach them
