Good company but hired wrong people - Server/Waiter Ritz-Carlton Employee Review

Strong emphasis on customer service excellence and professionalism. Excellent training and development programs. Opportunity to work with a respected luxury hospitality brand. Supportive team environment focused on guest satisfaction. Exposure to a diverse clientele from around the world. Clear service standards and expectations. Valuable experience in communication, problem-solving, and multitasking. Opportunities for internal advancement within hospitality and customer service roles. Employee recognition programs that celebrate outstanding service. Pride in representing a company known for high standards and exceptional guest experiences.

Fast-paced environment that can be stressful during peak seasons. High expectations for service and attention to detail. Heavy call volume during busy periods. Schedules may include evenings, weekends, and holidays. Staffing shortages can occasionally increase workload. Limited flexibility in procedures due to luxury brand standards. Advancement opportunities may vary by location, not department. Balancing multiple guest requests at once can be challenging.

Great benefits for retirement, and hotel discounts.

The GM creates a toxic work environment. HR didn’t respond to emails, and couldn’t handle the workload. The accountants think they’re the best thing since sliced bread and only ever send nasty emails to other staff members. Favoritism is frequently, and blatantly displayed.
