The General Manager sat next to me in the cafeteria on my second day. As an intern.

Pros

I suppose it always depends on the team you work on, no matter what company you work for, and I happened to work on a great team. The director was passionate about what she did and the other HR administrators always extended a warm hand whenever I needed help. Even though I was only an intern, I felt like I was apart of the team. I felt empowered and that I mattered. They do a great job at orientation and training and they set up these milestones (six months, one year, etc) and see how you are progressing in your role and in your personal career goals.

Cons

I feel like they streamline positions for a reason, the reason that if they do happen to lose that person in that role it wouldn't take too much of an effort to find someone else to fill the same role.

Pros

Friendly Management, Friendly Co-Workers, Promote from within when applicable, Great Pay and pretty good health benefits, performance driven

Cons

The business landscape is constantly changing, they do not look at education or past experience for promotions, some of the Manager's know what they are doing and some do not have the faintest idea how to work with employees let alone interacting with guests
