Pros

They offer reasonable benefits. The health insurance policies are good, dental insurance is worthless. They also offer 'comp nights' at their hotels if you are lucky enough to get approved.

Cons

Disrespectful Management starts at the top and gets worse. 'Comp nights" are impossible to get if you cannot get vacation time approved. Seemed like there were always excuses as to why this happens. LONG HOURS and less than market pay. Completely clueless HR departments who play favoritism. Hours of silly paperwork that literally benefit no one. Employee meals are often inedible.

Pros

The pay and insurance benefits. That’s about it can’t see any other benefits. I guess there is an opportunity to improve but the “leadership” prefers the status quo.

Cons

Revolving door of managers, therefore the inmates run the asylum. The management that is there is more concerned with protecting their own interest than that of the employees. Toxic work environment. Culture of cruelty, ignorance and cronyism is prevalent. Constant erroneous scheduling leads to an excessive workload that frustrates employees, hurts the guests experience and tarnishes the company’s image. Basic leadership skills missing for anyone in a role of authority.

Thank you for comments and feedback. At Four Seasons, we strive to ensure that every employee has a positive work experience but unfortunately, it appears we missed the mark during some of your time with us. Recent engagement scores of our Worldwide Reservations team (many of whom have been with us for more than 10 years!) are at a 3 year high but your comments show that there is always the opportunity to improve and to do better. HR and senior leadership, on an on-going basis work with the Worldwide Reservation management team to improve key business processes such as scheduling and recognizing performance, with a balance to meet the guest expectations for our luxury brand. We encourage employees to use our Open Door policy to speak to any leader, or our HR team if issues arise and invite you to reconnect with us should you wish to discuss your experience in more detail. Thank you, Shaunella, Corporate Human Resources

Pros

Four Seasons goes through a very selective and intensive hiring process which means the people you work with are all stars. It is hard to work for any other hotel brand after you have worked for a brand like this one. Comparatively the pay does turn out to be the highest in most areas and luxury market. Benefits are good and complimentary room nights are a plus but can be hard to get unless you are flexible on where you would like to go/ vacation.

Cons

The company has undergone a lot of change within the past few years including a new CEO. It seems the company is more geared towards profit and expansion than it is about it's people which is one of the leading pillars the company was founded on. Assistant management level positions are often over-worked and under appreciated. To be fair, I don't believe it is this way at all Four Seasons Properties around the globe.
