Driftwood Hospitality Management

So far this company seems to be doing well since they took over The Holiday Inn Express & Suites, located in E. Kendall Miami. 

Since they bought the hotel they have done Everything They Promised as far as renovations are going. I must admit the prior employees that were brought to this particular hotel location are top notch great bosses, team leader & collogues.
The owner of this franchised hotel is down to Earth & actually cares about his employees. They are fair, patient & give ample opportunities to show your commitment to making our hotel the best it can be, in East/Miami.  
The hardest part about working for Driftwood is the pressure to do everything correctly most importantly after 2-3 months of training.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Compensation was better than market.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Administrative and Executive Support lacks order and structure.  Sub Base is sub standard or marginal at Best!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Poor communication with weak management. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
On-site hotel renovations, manage and coordinate all work schedules.  Coordinate all logistics, renovations, PO generation, contract administration, inspections, commercial grade fire and MEP systems and Brand functional planning with clients.   Guest coordination and all work must be discussed with exist hotel management and housekeeping daily.

This company is very money hungry. They do not value employees and have very little regard for the financial necessity of its employees. This creates an atmosphere of toxicity that becomes ingrained within the employees and most of them will do what it takes to get a raise or promotion. Survival of the fittest. Promotions are not given to people that excel in their roles but to people that are connected or kiss up to management. I truly do not recommend working in this company. There are better companies out there that have the funds to pay their employees fairly.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

Do not even apply, the company is not worth your time or effort. They purchased 8 hotels in Atlanta about  one and half years ago.  These hotels have been a mess every since.   All they care about is how much money their management can put in their pockets.  When upper management comes to Atlanta, they rent Porches and Range Rovers while telling sales they have no money for expenses or the yearly cost of living raise we use to get before they took over.    It is truly a joke.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The daily interaction with guests and fellow team members.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is none as each day brings an a new adventure.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Its like a Family.You will have your disagreements, but everyone sets their differences aside to strive toward success.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Its fun place to work and each day brings a new challenge which can be rewarding.

When a Director role is counted on to be on the floor for 8 of the supposed 10-hour (more like 12-14) shifts, but also expected to somehow innovate and support revenue increase opportunities, the balance between your experience and what higher leadership expect clash often.  With hours of operation for various outlets ranging from 5am to 1am, the structure for leadership counts on leaders performing their jobs AND the jobs of their other staff members to keep the ship afloat.  Frustrating and tiring to say the least.  

Driftwood does not value their employees' skill or seniority.  Schedules are sent as a monthly email blast and those with the fastest internet connection receive the shifts.  Not only does Driftwood Catering have too many staff members for the available shifts, but they also continue to post jobs on Indeed.  Driftwood would rather have an abundance of workers in the employee pool than appreciate those dedicated tenured employees who want to work and get scheduled on a weekly basis.

good for someone that is ok with being stuck with no advancment. hardest part of job for me was realizing that i wasnt gonna go any further and still gettin up every morning and going to work. the most enjoyable part was most of the people i worked with

My 30 years of hospitality experience includes Sales, Marketing, Training and Operations.  I am seeking a position that will provide me with the opportunity to apply my hospitality knowledge which will drive positive results.  My passion is creating a GREAT GUEST EXPERIENCE either from the Sales process or Operational processes.
