Great Work Company no clear direction
Banquet cook (Former Employee), IL –
Pros: 401k contribution match, free lunch
Cons: non uniformity in management decisions, do not work together, longer term managers use younger as scape goats.
A fun atmosphere with the challenge of each day different. Is the product for the banquets going to be there when you start work?
I have learned that humility is needed and to set the standard for quality higher check everything despite how good personnel is. Management has moments of greatness but do not back each other in decisions and is not consistent.Ex: – more...  One moment employees get 10 minute smoke breaks and another time the same person says 15 minutes. Job titles are not defined for co-workers the same title therefore this creates no vision of development or movement forward. The culture becomes I come to work for the paycheck and to hang out, vs I love what I do. This is the hardest part of the job when everyone is arguing. The most enjoyable part of the job is when everyone works as a team and the banquet goes out smooth. – less

Working for Starwood means loosing your Identity.
Agent (Former Employee), Lombard, IL –
Pros: paid vacation and sick time
Cons: healthcare, management
One thing I won’t miss is the "misery loves company" attitude everyone has that works at the Westin. Seemed like it was hard to be happy about anything in life since Westins "secret brainwashing" (brand training) robs employees of any joy in life. The Westin was foreboding. I was stressed out about losing my job and had little to do. I was constantly – more...  wasting my energy on trying to stay out of trouble. Since anything you do good is either unrecognized or negetively critisized. Then the monkey suite and brand language makes you lose your identity and now you’re just another brick in the wall. They make you feel like you wont get the job if you don't sign something that says your available to work any shift. Then make you work when you don't want to. I hated my employment with Westin in the end. I'm very happy to be gone... Westin robs you of any joy as it's culture tends to consume every aspect of your life. – less
