POTENTIAL LEADERS PLEASE READ ( Former EC Manager ) High Turnover - BEWARE - Great $ but SHORT lived @ Kessler.
Pros
New Hire Orientation - Great Employee Training - Great & Ongoing Team Morale - Fair (Con - Hourly) Salaried Managers - Great Pay (BIG Sacrifices and Short Term Employment) Charity - For the Kids - Superb
Cons
***Klicky - Keep ideas and thoughts to yourself, otherwise you will be an outsider .. go ahead and quit if you get in this position. ***Business Interrupting - All corporate team members, with exception to a few are continuously trying to either impress, cover their butts, throw blame.. etc, etc, for the sake of Kessler Kids. Two that expect to be placed on enormous pedestals. To me they are bottom feeders, the unknown. *** Tyrants - Drop everything you are doing if a corporate leader is around.. and if the Hotel God Richard K is around .. don’t make eye contact.. he will either hit on you or fire you.. surely won’t get a pat on the back or a thank you. *** Coverup - Kessler is not the owner of these beautiful properties (exception to Plant Riverside and a couple others) they are more or less a management company with the ideas. All the money comes from XENIA HOTELS. (By far a much more grounded and solid company) *** Hourly Staff under appreciated *** Turnover - IN 40 YEARS I HAVE NEVER seen Turnover so high... the GMs are constantly changing, hourly staff you barely learn their name and poooofph.. they are gone. In a nutshell - If you take the job, watch what you say, hoe you walk, and always keep applying.. you could be booted tomorrow!
