Stonebridge Companies Career Development FAQ

Pros

The company growth allows for a career path and development opportunities for any position in the industry. Promotion of internal team members is always a priority.

Cons

Stretched a little thin during the pandemic, but that’s not unexpected or unique to this company, and they are bending over backwards to staff up again, but facing a labor shortage in the industry.

Pros

Great management, fun work environment, many opportunities for career education and upward movement in the company

Cons

Inconsistent correspondence from HR and upper level management on occasion, especially in regards to returning post-pandemic

Advice to Management

Keep treating your employees as well as you treated us!

Pros

I started with this company 3 1/2 years ago as a Front Office Manager. It was first time as a department head and I was so fortunate that Stonebridge gave me that opportunity. Since then, I moved up into the Assistant General Manager role and I am now a General Manager with this amazing company! Stonebridge takes career development so seriously (it's even in our mission statement). Without them, I may not be in the role I am today. The best part about all this is that I am not the only one. Several of my colleagues within the company as well as my direct team members have shared in the same growing career paths. I can confidently say that Stonebridge takes care of those who want a career in Hospitality. My motto is, "You are only as good as your next best" and Stonebridge makes sure to keep this at the forefront.

Cons

I cannot think of anything negative really. My only suggestion would be to get more corporate engineering support. They need more assistance in order to focus more directly on issues that we bring to their attention. Our chief engineers do not always get the support or training they need, and as a result, the properties are left to figure a lot out themselves.

Advice to Management

You have a great company, please continue all the amazing things you do each and every day!

Pros

Great group and community of hard workers that really care about their co-workers.

Cons

Management refused to provide the financial support or investment necessary to really make the hotel a success. It was forever an uphill battle and nothing we did was good enough. Even while receiving top customer service reviews, we were told we "weren't smiling enough." It was ridiculous and lead to extreme psychological burnout that I'm recovering from. When the hotel finally closed (after I had left my position), employees were only given 72 hours notice. This company has no respect or compassion for its employees.
