Pros

Transfer and lateral service opportunities. Commitment to training and education. It is a very professional environment to work in, the ladies and gentlemen of the Ritz-Carlton are a wonderful group to work with. People recognize and are intrigued by the name when you tell them where you work.

Cons

Incompetent leaders are able to stick around for a very long time. High turnover amongst many different departments due to both transfer and from leaving the company.

Pros

Free lunch every day, they are strategically very cutting edge and the five star banquets are amazing. From my experience managers are encouraged to be mentors to help employees get to where they want to be. Also left overs from banquets are the best.

Cons

You have to schmooze your way into promotions and it really helps if you receive a 5 star award, if you can get it. Also there is a lot of turn around for line level employees.
