Not Worth It - Age Discrimination

Pros

Convenient location, Nice offices, benefits ok

Cons

Management lies to it's employees. The last employee survey was so bad that they did not share the results with employees. I can see that HR has been forced to add 5 star reviews to try and improve recruitment. Don't fall for it.

Solid Company

Pros

Choice Hotels is a solid company. It's constantly pushing to grow the business. They have a strong HR department that plans company events and a good matching program when it comes to your 401K. In general, it's run well. Still mainly male in the C-suite though. It's definitely a demanding corporate environment, but with a general friendly atmosphere.

Cons

They are constantly restructuring and having layoffs. They don't promote people, even when they are performing well, and therefore they ultimately leave for other opportunities, which ultimately costs the company. They work in silos and departments don't share information with each other, which also hurts the business. Part of this is a structural issue, part of this is probably endemic at any large company, and part of it is human nature. Very political atmosphere. They are risk averse when it comes to marketing innovation, yet they pride themselves on being innovative. Too much empahsis on driving bookings vs. long term thinking about brand building. Leadership lacks vision and creativity and has a myopic view on driving revenue in the short term. They are innovative in many ways, but conservative in general. It's a solid company with good people, but environment is changing and has lost it's sense of congeniality.

Thank you for your review. We make every effort to get a pulse on how our people feel, particularly about work-life balance, via our tri-annual engagement survey. In recent years, we continue to see strong positive feedback regarding work-life balance, and we are disappointed to hear that your thoughts are not consistent with the trend we have seen across the organization. As a current employee, we strongly encourage you to reach out to your HR business partner so that we can get work together to identify areas of opportunity.
