Pros

Best culture and company beliefs out there, truly makes you proud to be Ritz-Carlton. Co-workers are for the most part amazing ladies and gentlemen to work with.

Cons

I literally was on the verge of divorce because of the hours I worked. I barely got to see my spouse or speak to my parents on the phone. My doctor told me to quit because of the health problems I was experiencing i.e. breathing problems, nervous symptoms. Working 7am to 6pm one day, my boss asked why I was taking a half day. Six day work weeks, 12 hours a day, and a ridiculously meager salary. I got paid in smiles and invective.

Pros

great place to work... happy about the experience, but glad to be out of the hospitality industry... for a hotel job, the ritz is the best company to work for besides their antiquated dress code but that's to be expected. i made a lot of money without having to do an exorbitant amount of work. "We are ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen." They really try to let this company model permeate through every aspect of the business. Overall, I am very happy to say that I was "Ritz-Carlton."

Cons

its a hotel job. no weekends, no holidays to yourself... had to shave everyday. antiquated dress code/grooming standards (cant keep anything but a moustache, women's hair has to be one "natural" color, no "crazy" colors on a girl's fingernails, etc) but otherwise, there really arent too many cons besides the nature of the industry and its 24/7/365 culture. you have to be a true workaholic to make a career in the hotel industry!

Pros

Location, benefits and travel perks. Most departments seem open to promoting within. Opportunities to grow.

Cons

Pay is not comparable to other properties. No free parking. Departments stretched thin. Ritz-Carlton owned by Marriott and is no longer the same luxury brand hotel.
