A typical day would be trying to determine what I needed to do and what could be done; always hoping I had self-trained enough to complete that. Routinely wasted time searching for a printer, fax machine, scanner, and internet connection that worked. Learned to appreciate the places I had been employed with working basic office equipment. Management is as poor as the equipment and facilities.

Co-workers were friendly most of the time; others justifiably frustrated and territorial. The foul language, irrational/volatile, and lack of competent management to create a somewhat normal working environment was the hardest part of the job. No HR support for associates. Helping others and providing service was the enjoyable part of the job and the only thing really satisfying about it. Finding a position at a nearby hotel with normal facilities and good practices was a blessing. Never so happy to see a policies, procedures, and a working copy machine!

DO NOT WORK HERE! Management is family owned they do not care for employees and often hide in their offices while forcing employees to do their managerial work. HR could care less about treatment of employees or management harassment toward employees and often use gaslighting and intimidation tactics to quiet employees concerns and issues. Managers keep giving each other promotions and salary raises while regular employees can’t even get a 25 cent raise in 6 months of hard work. Unless you want to work in a toxic work environment everyday for a company who does not care about employees or their guests and only care about management putting more money in their pockets feel free to apply.

Pros

Great place to get your feet wet in hospitality, if new to the industry and looking to break in.

Cons

No raises, or very rare.
Make you do many different jobs all for the same pay rate.
Constantly understaffed due to not giving raises, increasing work load per person
Don't fund things that need fixing, so broken or worn down things stay in fixed state

Advice to Management

Give annual raises.
If having employees do multiple jobs, compensate employees for those jobs fairly.
Train employees so that other companies want to hire them, and pay them so that they don't want to leave.

I worked here for about a decade. The money was decent--it was a good side job. Many people here were great people. Problem was most of the upper management team--from EC to the RJ (who designed the AQUA bar-- putting the bar in the front>>--a son of one of the owners--was he qualified?) Always felt that the owners believed they were more important in their '3-legged stool' model. Other managers, like JC, were unfairly overworked to the point of having health problems. Very few left of the once great banquet team.

My typical day at work consists of sitting at my desk, answering about 100 calls every day- booking reservations for various independant hotels the company manages in the country. I have previous experience working at hotels, so while working here I've learned other PMS systems which is much to my benefit. When I first started I found the hardest part of the job was the high call volume and juggling all the different systems as well as remembering info about every hotel, but as with anything else is a learning process. At this point- I work through every system with a breeze and pretty much have basic info about our hotels memorized.

It was a pleasure to be at Meyer Jabara Hotels for the length of 1 year and 3 months. On that timeframe, I have the opportunity to work with excellent people & sharing memorable experiences. Everyone who works at the Hilton Ocala (From the GM to all departments) will help you to develop and grow to you can be successful person, & also, be part of a very important/fundamental key who you can implement either on the professional or personal growth, The Journey. If you apply and get selected, you win the lottery ticket!

Great workplace, i just would like more opportunity for better positions and actually receive compensate for the amount of work and hours i put in every day/ every week.
I am dedicated to do the best work in the city, however sometimes motivation is at its lowest when i find that i am putting more work but nothing to show that it is known i deserve more for my devotion.

The Cambria hotel & suites Pittsburgh - Downtown underwent a major multi-million dollar renovation but the market is depressed due to increased supply so the the day to day was quite stressful.  The BEST part of the company is their corporate culture which I helped train the associates in.  Every day dealing with new groups and guests made the job very fun but in the end I was laid off due to low occupancy levels.

Has an amazing culture/vibe in recognizing those for their efforts, training them to become leaders in the field. I have learned more about how to be a leader, how to build and manage those client relationships and how to delegate my work to focus on larger items.

The hardest part of the job is keeping the client relationship when things go wrong. The most enjoyable part of the job is keeping those clients happy by doing something that means a lot to them, or just by taking them out to lunch.

Spent several months working at this company. General Manager was very ignorant to what was going on in the operation. Every one in housekeeping is over worked and underpaid. The two woman who ran the front desk (The jens ) were horrible and crazy. Always looking for ways to undermine the GM. Who by the way is so Moody. The joke would be to see what kind of mood he was in each day.  Could not leave and get  out of there fast enough. front desk is uninformed and untrained.
