Terrible Headquarter Experience

Pros

Offices and Lobby are very inviting.

Cons

Very political and hierarchical. Upper management uses information to retain power / importance, instead of sharing with teams. Some VPs and Senior Directors are too junior without enough experience in their roles, or leading people.

Thank you for taking the time to provide the review. Living true to the values of our founders, we pride ourselves on fostering a family culture and we are sorry to hear that your experience did not feel consistent with our values. At Choice we are pleased to offer our associates a robust family care program that includes full paid maternity and paternity leave, adoption assistance, as well as back-up child and adult/elder care. Once our parents return to work, we offer a transitional, reduced work schedule, fully paid for 30 days. On an ongoing basis, many of our associates take advantage of flex-work and work from home schedules, giving them more time to spend with their family. We value the feedback from all our associates and will share your experience with our leadership, as well as your thoughts on promotions, development and reorganizations.

Pros

Hotel discount. Management provides many opportunities to learn about different areas in the company. Wide variety of employee resource groups to help you navigate your career.

Cons

Management that doesn't live the values. Some people are just dicks. Pay that isn't always on par with similar organizations.

Thank you for your feedback. At Choice we go to great lengths to embrace diversity and inclusion, and we are particularly proud of our numerous employee resources groups that you have mentioned. They not only serve as excellent networking platforms for associates of all cultural backgrounds, they foster a work environment where a plethora of opinions, ideas, and philosophies can flourish. We’re glad to hear that you have enjoyed our popular employee hotel discount program. With over 6,000 franchised hotels worldwide, it is one of the unique benefits that we offer our employees. With all that said however, we are disappointed to hear about your experience with members of our management team and your feeling regarding work life balance. As current employee, we strongly encourage you to reach out to your human resources business partner to share your experience and in an effort to resolve your concerns.

EXTREMELY UNDERSTAFFED

Pros

Nice location; nice Cambria hotels

Cons

Extremely understaffed--every Analyst and Sr. Analyst that treat their job seriously are overworked. No bonus for those that produce most of the work and get the company moving. VP treats his favorite analyst unfairly nice without any consequences. There is an award to recognize employee performance outside of bonus structure but there is no clear direction to encourage management to nominate their direct reports for the award. Hence, you have 1 person with 5 awards and others in another team with no awards whatsoever. Very touchy-feely kinda of environment. Very political.
