Not your typical hotel company.

Pros

They have a large amount of hotels meaning you will be supporting a large segment of hotel owners and management companies.

Cons

Since Choice Hotels does not manage a single hotel, corporate earnings and number of franchises are the priority. Yes, hotel specific metrics such as ADR, OCC, RevPAR help move the needle, the management focus from senior leadership focus more on ensuring a EPS that enables stockholder growth and Senior Leadership bonus payouts.

Pros

Number of different jobs to apply for.

Cons

Company does not care about its employees. They have been laying off employees every November for the past 8 years, then 2 years ago they bought two new buildings for their headquarters in Maryland and Arizona. The current CEO nor his Vice Presidents do not seem to care about who has a job or not. The Health insurance package they changed to is terrible. Constant in-fighting at the corporate offices. They put on a false front that they care about families but the truth is they don't. Your job is never secure.
