Pros

-Highest prices in the business, so the best job for gratuity based incomes. -Looks awesome on a resume. -Successful by association.

Cons

-Unnecessary mandatory classes. -The "Never Say No to a Guest" mentality can be frustrating. Although there is no doubt this is what separates the company from competitors and is essential to hospitality success, front line employees bear the brunt. Guests are always justified in their requests and you must cater to them. While this is generally reciprocated by guests in ensuing gratuities its not always recognized. And if the guest makes a stink about you not being perfect in any way you will be sure to hear about it from management.

Pros

Best culture and company beliefs out there, truly makes you proud to be Ritz-Carlton. Co-workers are for the most part amazing ladies and gentlemen to work with.

Cons

I literally was on the verge of divorce because of the hours I worked. I barely got to see my spouse or speak to my parents on the phone. My doctor told me to quit because of the health problems I was experiencing i.e. breathing problems, nervous symptoms. Working 7am to 6pm one day, my boss asked why I was taking a half day. Six day work weeks, 12 hours a day, and a ridiculously meager salary. I got paid in smiles and invective.
