Pros

Excellent brand that looks good on the resume, leader in the industry, partial tuition reimbursement after 2 years, pay above average, decent benefits.

Cons

Micromanaged boxed-up people with unhealthy sense of competition and inflated egos. You can work there if you can tolerate grade-school disciplinary approach and good at scheming. You will get a boot if you have a slightest inclination to pioneering. Once my director advised me (nice guy but no back bone): "your good work makes others look bad, consider changing or you will suffer consequences".

Pros

Fair pay, decent PTO, can be a very flexible work environment if you have a caring leader. Hospitality is a fun industry that tends to attract interesting people--ability to travel and work with diverse cultures is great.

Cons

Constant reorganization/restructuring post-COVID, and growth that outpaced scalable infrastructure. Some long-time employees very set in their ways, can be hard to make meaningful impacts on ways of working even when the org has changed on paper.
