Pros

Convenient Location is the only pro I could mention.

Cons

Has there been a movie with a similar title, if not I'd recommend to film one here. My interviews were cancelled about 8 times and all of them last-minute. I got an offer after about 3 months of back and forth. I left another job to start working for Highgate. After 2 weeks (9 days) my manager told me I don't work there anymore, because I was hired without the budget for a position. I really felt that the first hotel had great team, but the fact they didn't do anything to keep me, didn't reach out after they transferred me proves otherwise. The other hotel I was moved to was a job from hell. Everything was unorganized. There was no orientation or on-boarding, no introduction to other departments, no welcome e-mail. The department leadership was weak and very micro-managed. Within 3 weeks no e-mail accounts have been set up for me. I would not recommend any person to work for this company. There is no family feel to work.

Pros

Not applicable , the company’s bad reputation is not just rumors

Cons

This company has absolutely no flexibility for employee requests however you are expected to work 7 days a week , 15-18 hour days. Medical restrictions and disabilities don’t mean anything. No compromise on their part. No recognition, No compensation, No mental health support … They will burn you out, not care how their workplace tactics affect you or your work moving forward. They will then set you up to fail then use it as a reason to start the process of getting rid of you. No empathy for people. They refuse to accommodate requests for certain people but then others, no problem. Discrimination & Favoritism, I have never met a group with such evil intentions. All their claims about employees first are farthest from the truth. They only follow policies when it is convenient for them and depending on who it’s for. It’s all about who you know , not what you know Bottom line - the company is a total scam. The less you do the better. The excuses and practices for over compensating upper management is a joke.
