Pros

You work with some good ppl. You do get a discount but rarely have enough time off to use it.

Cons

They do not care about their employees as they say they do. The employee promise is just a facade as much of the Ritz Carlton mystique is. So much drama and politics. You either know someone, you play the game, or you're so far up your managers you know what that you can't tell where you begin and they end. Gossip gossip gossip. Everyone talks about everyone, employees about employees and employees about guests. Contradiction: at the front desk you have agents making different wages for the same job and they don't want you to discuss that. Then they go ahead and post the exact dollar amount each person sold in upgrades so anyone can do simple math and see exactly how much someone is making extra per month. Makes no sense and harbors bad competition instead of best practices but management only cares about hitting goals set by ppl who collect bonuses based on the hard work of everyone else.

Pros

Hotel Benefits would convenient at times

Cons

Horrible to work at the Ritz Carlton Boston. I was terminated because someone decided to report me they I was nodding off briefly in the office. They first suspended me with a notice explaining my suspension and then they terminated me with a different notice with the summary of that notice not matching up with the suspension notice. Human Resources lied to me and told me that the reason they found out I nodded off was because they were reviewing footage for something and just happened to come across me on camera which does not add up to the two statements I received. Cafeteria food was terrible. You would think a five star hotel would cook better food. Sometimes the food was burnt and did not taste good at all!!!
