A dynamic and fun place to work, but a little too far on the conservative side.

Pros

A lot of autonomy is given, the facilities are impressive, the workload is challenging, the people are fantastic and provide a great team-first environment.

Cons

The company can be slow to make decisions often waiting for competitors to take that first step which generally put the company behind the field in many areas and sometimes in a very reactionary position. The Scottsdale office and personnel are a pleasure to work with and just "get it" whereas the Maryland office seems mired in traditional business practices and not quite as adept at adapting to technology.

Pros

Good starting point for college grads. Corporate management is ok.

Cons

Not too much space for career upward . Most of the hotels are franchised so each hotels might have different "work culture".
