Pros

Some of your colleagues are great and very talented Free food in staff room on weekdays Beautiful building

Cons

Very low pay for a tough job, dealing with demanding customers at a 5* hotel Terrible, time-consuming booking system for spa treatment packages – inundated with customers wanting to redeem vouchers Commission for selling spa products, but rarely worthwhile A lot of staff feel frustrated that the hotel hierarchy don't listen to them Lunch breaks too short – only 30 minutes They take biometric information – you have to scan your fingerprints to click on and out Also, you lose a whole hour's wages of you are even a minute late You work random days and will often have to work weekends, either starting early or finishing late

Pros

Very welcoming and friendly office culture with supportive colleagues. The organization encourages professional growth and provides exposure to a variety of responsibilities and projects, which can be beneficial for building experience and learning how different departments operate within a large hotel environment.

Cons

The office environment can be distracting, with little flexibility for remote or hybrid work. While growth is encouraged, there is limited formal training or shadowing for certain roles, and employees are often expected to learn independently. Workloads can be heavy, with frequent meetings and additional responsibilities layered on top of existing sales goals and quotas. Commuting and parking are challenging, with parking passes required and deducted from paychecks. Employees may be pulled into extra projects or overtime, and during slower seasons are expected to seek new clients or train new staff rather than focus on their core responsibilities which leads to extreme burnout.
