Pros

None. If you aren’t friends with someone in a higher up position don’t think you will get a promotion. And this is on the GM level. Work your butt of for them and they will reward you by launching 80 hotels and the owner of the company sending an email to those 2500 people being tossed away saying this will be great for Whit Lodging being able to expand in the future. Sorry about your luck if you’re one of the 80 hotels given up.

Cons

If there were any positives left in this company they tossed them all away when they announced the separation of 80 hotels from the company. Oh no big deal WLS. You just fired 50 corporate employees and let 2500 go to another company right before Christmas. Thanks Bruce! We hope you and Ken and your families have a GREAT Christmas and you guys Lee making enough money to support your huge pompous egos!

Pros

White Lodging is very welcoming and treats their employees like family. They respect your time off, which a lot of other companies do not. Amazing benefits. Orientation was extremely helpful. Plenty of opportunities for growth.

Cons

Very high standards but I wouldn't say that's a con. If you're not up for a challenge and you do not want to grow this is not the company for you.

Thank you so much for sharing this — it genuinely warmed our hearts! Hearing that you feel confident, enjoy coming to work, and trust that your manager is invested in both your career and your well-being is exactly what we strive for at White Lodging. We love that you called out our high standards as "honestly not a con" — that perspective is what sets great hospitality leaders apart, and it's clear you're already embracing that culture with enthusiasm. Thank you for the incredible energy you bring to your role every day. We're so glad to have you on the team and look forward to supporting your growth!
