Pros

The pet insurance is nice.

Cons

Highgate budgets for two managers where there should be four. Twice the work for half the amount of managers. Work/life is not a thing. Low contributions to employee benefit plans. It feels like the above property leadership is always shifting or trying new initiatives that don’t seem to go anywhere. Every week we were reinventing the wheel with little or no training about the procedure. All of these things create so much pressure that at the hotel level, teams are turning on each other. It’s toxic top to bottom.

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.
