Sofitel Hotels reviews

Sofitel washington DC is a toxic work environment where you will be underpaid and under-appreciated. Over-time is prohibited and it will be the employees responsibility to avoid it at all costs (even if it means working off the clock to avoid being punished for unfinished/poor quality tasks) Be prepared to be yelled at by immature members of the executive committee and watch as any promises made during your interview fade away.

Political unprofessional nonsense will meet you at every corner. Managers were carrying on "relationships" with other managers and even with subordinates. Promotion opportunities and treatment is not equal. Management will frequently harass you to make sure you uphold to every standard they have in place. Sometimes there are 25+ standards you need to meet for one interaction with a guest!! Forget to say "Bonjour"? You might get a write up. Received a write up for being one minute late! Not kidding. Micro-management environment, very little training (servers never know what the specials are, what the lunch menu even is, what the dishes are like), an HR team that is out to get you. I came in excited to work for the company, worked hard, received constant praise from guests, wanted to stay long term- left with very bad taste in my mouth.
