Pros

They pay is good if you are wise on how to negotiate. You get discounts on hotels in places like NY City, and low-level management is flexible with schedules and leave.

Cons

The health benefits are changing in "response to Obama Care". We are paying the same amount for a lot less care and higher deductibles. We are profitable this year but still trimming costs, and outsourcing and offshoring. Yet we learn our headquarters is moving from Silver Spring to Rockville to "save on costs and to attract better talent for senior executives". However, non-executives will need to start paying for parking. Current executives that have been here for years are leaving unexpectedly due to "differing opinions with CEO, Joyce." It is becoming a very odd environment where we are beginning to look like everything people hate about corporate America.

Pros

If the Management Group was upstanding and cared about their associates, there would have been some wonderful opportunities for advancement, either on property or with Corporate. Choice had some great sales and marketing courses and I took advantage of all I could. Choice also encouraged me to take my CHSE test, which I did. They were a very education friendly Hotelier

Cons

Our Management Group didn't like Sales Personnel off property often. This didn't make sense, not only for training classes but in the way of cold calls. Their theory was that if I was off property making calls, I could miss telephone opportunities. This never made sense to me as most of my outside calls brought in SMERF business..
