Nice people bad management
Housekeeper (Former Employee) - Vernon, BC - 19 November 2021
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedPay wasn’t that good the people were nice to work with though. The benefits seemed good when I got hired but they never ended up giving me the benefits the entire time I worked there as a full time employee and I worked there for a year.

Great place for career minded
Regional Manager (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 10 January 2022
BW is a great place to work because of the strong management and empowering workplace culture. I've been in the industry for 35+ years so it's not my first rodeo. Anytime you are still LEARNING and developing at this stage in your career is a testament to working for BW.
Pros
Management and culture
Cons
the pay could be more competitive, benefits are great.

Worst place I have ever worked. Do your self a favor and don't bother, unless you are desperate
Executive Chef (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 1 January 2022
Have been in this business over 25 years, worst job I have ever had. Management has no idea what they are doing. In 8 months of working there I stopped counting after I seen 30 employees come and go. Truly a bad work environment
Pros
Nice view
Cons
Management has no clue how to run a business, treat staff, or cater to guests needs

Best place to work
Night Auditor (Former Employee) - Grand Falls, NB - 11 November 2021
Meeting new people and hearing their story's was the best part of the job, co workers and management was all good. They trained people good. The boss was very fair person, she praised your good and corrected the bad, which made us better employees. The owner of the motel even took all his employees on a helicopter ride which was great. Something I never experienced.

Productive and fun place to work, everybody helps anyone that is in need of help with the rooms. the workers are great and i wouldn’t recommend for a first job. it is very fast past and you have to have very good time management skills for this type of work. it took me a while to get used to it. overall i would recommend this job to anyone that has cleaning experience!

very fast paced and long hours some days

It was a great place to work, and you were always asked if you were happy with your shifts. Made life long friends

Breath of fresh air
Operations Manager (Current Employee) - St. John's, NL - 16 July 2021
Of course we all long for that one position that one company that allows you to maximize your creative talent. This is it. Your hard work will not go unnoticed. The owners are very sincere and down to earth but have a strong ethic in beliefs. This is your one opportunity to join in to this group of team members. I’m still going on three years in love with my work and life balance here. It’s is an absolute misfortune if you don’t take the opportunity to observe this culture.
Pros
Fair wages, great benefits, team culture, promotions, opportunity to grow
Cons
Absolutely Non. If you find one your not team material it’s up to you to make it the best.

typical hotel restaurant.
Dishwasher (Former Employee) - Burnside, NS - 21 June 2021
environment was typical for a hotel restaurant. Chef and cooks were very slow to start working when no one was watching and usually miserable to be around. I experienced a small amount of bullying from at least one of the cooks here. The food produced was of the typical hotel quality. wages are poor.
