Pros

The guests and employees

Cons

Always short staffed. Not Just a little but at 25% of what the staffing should be in my department. Work 70+ hours a week most of the time so I actually make less than minimum wage because I am salary. No training for advancement. Its like I have 2 jobs one is my job and my other job is going to countless meetings or having discussions about how to improve things but then there is not follow through. HR sends out score cards for each department and that is great but they send it out for 2 months and then not for another 6 months or so. You go the whole year not knowing how you measure up to there standards. I have so much vacation time but can not use it and when I did take one week off my boss STILL called me almost everyday. I actually had to come in to work when my mom who I had not seen in 3 years (because I can not get time off) was visiting. Our Director of rooms quit and on his last day told me to run.......I feel super optimistic now! I would apply for other jobs but when I get home from working a 15 hour shift and have to be back at 5am the next day I am just to tired. I feel so bad for my staff who I can not give all of the training or support to because I am just a fill in employee on the floor now. My staff will say we feel so bad for you working as much as you do. You are a manager and your staff actually feels bad for you how pathetic. I have been trying to grow my garden and promote from with in. My employee had to wait over a week to interview with the GM. Every time she had an appointment she would go and wait in front of his office for 30-45 min and then HR would call call and say "oh he is taking a long lunch lets reschedule". Inconsiderate on so many levels. You tell your managers that you are there to support them and there associates and then they are left to fend for them self's. I love my customers and what I do but the Omni does not. They say they care and even hold POE classes on how to care ( I have taught several of these myself) and then let you work yourself to death.

Pros

If you love helping others, working in hospitality can be beneficial to honing customer service skills. I think this particular location is better for high school or college grads looking for a start in business america. You yave the opportunity to meet many different people from some really cool places; guests and coworkers alike.

Cons

Unfortunately it is the same old corporate adage... Office politics, hiring and promoting friends/family over knowlegdeable/skilled and talented employees. If you're outspoken, give feedback that doesn't want to be heard, expect to have negative narratives created about you and your character, then be overlooked for rightfully earned promotions/raises if not terminated for some obscure reason. Poor performance and bad behavior are rewarded and overlooked, while hard working employees are left disenchanted and unmotivated until they quit. They can get pretty disrespectful with staff. Promotions are only from "within" if you're in the "liked/approved" circle. This is a continuous cycle with each new set of managers hired because the same type of narcisistic people are brought in. Sounds crazy, but can assure you it is a very honest assessment from personal experience.

Pros

Omni has a pretty office with a cafe that has fresh food made daily. HR hosts regular events to keep employees engaged and participating in fun activities.

Cons

Omni Corporate primarily consists of two groups: One is a clique of long-time employees who are burnt out and resistant to change. A lot of them are unwelcoming information hoarders and usually don't include new talent in office social groups or gatherings. The other group is new talent that is frequently brought in and cycled out within 0.5-2 years. The growth opportunities and level of respect you receive at the corporate office is minimal if you do not have direct hotel experience. Training and preparation for the job is also minimal, so be aware of that. When I left Omni to begin my new job, it was very clear to me that I was in a toxic work environment. Not only that, my manager kept my computer to snoop on my teams messages and files after my departure. Something that they did not do with another employee who left before me. It may have been because I complained about this manager to HR about their behavior. The managers and leaders at my new job are so much more approachable, helpful, respectful of my knowledge and intellect. I'm glad I made the decision to separate.
