Property Manager (Former Employee), Arnold, MO. – February 27, 2012
Cons: very low pay, negative work culture, no corporate support, potentially dangerous work environment
The only reason I am glad I worked for this company is because it gave me experience in the operations side of hospitality. They are not organized, have very little idea of how to operate hotels, and are very poor when it comes to having a vested interest in their employees. I would not reccomend this employer to anyone. The top management in this company – more... are clueless. NONE of the "executives" have any hospitality management experience, let alone extended stay hotel experience. They are never interested in truly providing even an adequate guest experience and have even less regard for the experience their employees they have working for them. It is a very negative and distant work culture. This company is not interested in the safety of their employees, either. They continually offer rates so low ($99/week) that it attracts a criminal element which puts the employees of the property at risk. Criminals and drug culture people make up a good portion of their "guests". I endured 70 incidents in 9 months that included drugs, violence, and mentally unstable guests. In one instance, a "guest" pulled a knife on my housekeepers and threatened them. That was the last straw for me as the property manager. The company continually ignored my pleas for security and I could not go on managing a hotel that was this dangerous to me and my employees. I would not reccomend this company to anyone! – less
