Pros

None. The Guests were nice but I can't think of anything else good to say about this Motel 6 that was formerly LaQuinta in Arcadia.

Cons

The Manager is disrespectful and calls people at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning and tells them they must be there by 9am if they want to be considered for a job. There is no regard to what is going on in your life. How unprofessional. Then he tells you to come in and does not show up. He changes the schedule every 5 minutes. He responds to "how are you?" with " I am blessed" all the time - really? are we in church??? He refused to help a guest who was struggling with a luggage cart. the Manager, owner, and another employee stood around watching this woman with an injury struggle to get the cart through the door while keeping me behind the desk making me study material that says "I must anticipate the guests needs" And then has the nerve to tell me I was not good with the customers after I checked in 7 guests with no training. He then insisted I learn everything in two days or they are "moving forward" because he wanted the weekend off. I did nothing wrong. this may have been racially motivated given the news events on the day of hiring and I was the only white person. He refused to put in writing the reason for firing me after one day. The pay was awful anyway.

Pros

I can't seem to think of one! Oh, free housing! But it isn't free. I work my butt off for that

Cons

Everything! We never have enough supplies. They just want money, they don't care what the rent out to people. It's disgusting. The building manager literally told me to reuse sheets of they're not that bad. Like, what? Not to mention, they call me like 5000 times a day!
