Pros

The Safestay brand itself is strong, but on-site management at the hostel I worked at let it down.

Cons

Extreme unprofessionalism on behalf of staff who had been with the company for more than a year.

Pros

Opportunities to climb the ladder come up quite often

Cons

Bullying culture from the top of the chain down. Common to have a "favourite" of the month and everyone else is singled out. No work/life balance. If you aren't working 24/7 then you aren't working hard enough.

Pros

Can't think of any pros.

Cons

The bullying strategy put in place by the upper management is something that should be investigated. I am pretty sure that if one day someone working at Safestay calls in ACAS (or any other institution) to attend some of the meetings that take place, not only in London, but in other properties worldwide, things could get pretty nasty for Safestay. I mean, we are talking about a company whose core is to deliver good customer service (hospitality, right?) while internally bets on intimidation and aggressiveness to (try) to achieve its goals! This types of strategies are outdated, short minded and almost criminal. Needless to say, hence, that they don't care about its clients: it is only the money that matters.
