Pros

It requires no previous experience or training. If you are a relative of a person in upper management, you are assured a job at this company. Good stepping stone, if you need experience to get hired at a better job.

Cons

Where do I start--they don't understand the value of a good employee. They pay low, and veteran employees (like myself) are constantly leaving for places that offer better pay. Even by hotel industry standards, they do not pay well. Avoid working for a hotel owned by this company like the plague. Run by an Indian company, everyone who is in upper management is related and there is no opportunity for promotion. They will heap responsibility on you for terribly low pay until they break you.

Pros

Really good at cutting corners and protecting their bottom line.

Cons

Will demote or fire people easily for unwarranted reasons. I only got my position because they demoted a sales coordinator for not being good enough to be promoted due to unrealistic expectations. Growth within company is based on popularity not job skills. Terrible benefits. Expect you to work harder and harder in terrible conditions without complaining. Expect you to drive all over Southern California for trainings or work events. Greedy company with fake culture and values. The environment is actually the opposite of everything their core values preach. Very cheap poorly ran greedy properties. Exploits Spanish speaking employees until they quit from being overworked.
