Pros

There are a few front desk shifts on weekdays or Sunday PM that aren't very tough, and could work for a college student trying to get experience in the hospitality industry.

Cons

Living on-site, woefully inadequate compensation for someone on-call 24 x 7. Constant drama and turnover from maintenance and housekeeping employees who may just have been released from prison, or first job in the country. Refusal of company to invest in non-renovated properties; not even vendors want to work for us. Poor compensation at every level makes it very hard to improve staffing or develop future managers.

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!
