Pros

Good health benefits, dental, 401k. You learn a lot. If you do anything in the Front Desk, Food and Beverage Department or any position dealing with guests, you will become a doctor in customer service and hospitality.

Cons

Difficult to move up in Food and Beverage and other departments because pay is so low for supervisors who have an immense amount of responsibility and basically live there. Departments such as "Sales" as well as the Executive Staff needs to get a hold of their ego's and put some humility in their lives.
