Pros

For a single young man/woman very great position to have. Comes with an apartment on the property where you pay no utilities or rent. The managers and upper management are amazing! At a convention in Hawaii the CEO of the company was out on the dance floor having a good time with all the rest of the managers. Oh yeah I forgot to mention every two years they gather up all the GMs and above and take you on an all expenses paid vacation/convention. Last year was Hawaii. The daily work life is busy but easy. It comes down to building a good team and having the right attitude to work hard.

Cons

The pay is probably the number one downfall to this company. GMs are asked to do sooo much and the paychecks do not reflect that. Sure you get a free apartment, but still for all the long nights and early mornings, conferences, trips, and playing housekeepers, maintenance person, and front desk clerk; GMs should definitely have a little better pay.

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!
