Pros

The Ritz-Carlton name looks good on a resume The insurance and hotel discount are good.

Cons

Use of J-1 workers results in fewer hours for American workers, and the J-1s themselves are over worked and underpaid. They say they promote from within, but many positions have been filled by newcomers instead. They claim to be involved in community, but when Irma hit they turned us down for help. The management over the resturaunt has lowered moral so much that over 8 people have left in 2 weeks. They hire for one position then have you work something else.

Pros

The only pros were the great co-workers and the benefits. Saying that you work for "the Ritz" people are impressed, but they do not know the truth about the place!

Cons

Warning to job seekers! The Ritz talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. Upper management always has their own agenda and if you do not fit into that you are doomed! You will not realize how you should really be treated as an employee until you leave! All I can say is Wow should have left a long time ago............
