Very good place to work very caring people to work for
I was a housekeeper (Former Employee), Chemainus, BC – May 1, 2013
Pros: we got to have 2 coffee breaks and 30 min lunch hour
Cons: some times very long days not enough girls for the amount of rooms to be done
Ireally enjoyed working for the Best Western it was an awesome place to work The staff there are all very professional and are happy to help you in any way they can. A typical day at work would start at 8:30 and usually we were finished by 3:30-4:00 I learned the true meaning of friends and how coworkers can and will be there in a time of need just – more... like family The hardest part of the job for me was when I couldnt come back to work anymore and when it was laundry day for me and it was really busy but all in all I luved my job and coworkers The most enjoyable part of my job was all the lasting friendships I made while working there there are all amazing and I miss them all so much and will never forget any of them – less

Ok job
house keeper (Former Employee), Safford, AZ – June 6, 2013
Typical days were slow, You learned how to make a bed and scrub a tub. Management was helpful and a joy to be around as were the other coworkers hardest part of the job would be the pay and expecting to make something out of it and sadly to say the most enjoyable part of the day was getting off work.

This position was fun and upbeat, and I loved serving people
SERVER (Former Employee), Scottsburg, IN – May 28, 2013
Pros: working with public, great money
Cons: it sometimes became hectic, but we all seemed to pull through
Serving the public is one of the things I love to do most. I feel it is very important to be very hospitable to people in general, I live by the philosophy that you should treat others as you would want to be treated, and serving is the greatest place for that. Those I had served on a regular basis, helped me reiterate that philosophy.
