Pros

-The majority of people who worked at my hotel were wonderful. -The travel discounts were amazing. I once stayed at another property for $50.00 per night. -I found the salary to be above average for the position -free staff cafeteria -wonderful employee training -holiday party

Cons

-lots of pressure to work overtime -cafeteria food was often unhealthy (heavy pasta dishes, fried food) which made for a sluggish afternoon -dealing with the Ritz employees who were in the Hotel Union was a often nightmare, and once they were hired it is hard for them to be fired.
