Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Employee Review

So so workplace not as amazing as they portray it be

Coordinator (Former Employee) - Victoria, BC - 20 September 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?Fairmont is a global brand so being associated with this will definitely increase your desirability in the labour marketWhat is the most stressful part about working at the company?Leaders that do not have accountability. Everyone thinking that they are the best which hinders improvement. Messy operations. Union is too demanding and uncooperative sometimesWhat is the work environment and culture like at the company?Toxic - majority are superficial, office politics is ugly. Seems that everyone has their agenda. Favoritism is also something apparentWhat is a typical day like for you at the company?Everyday is just a struggle to survive. I didnt feel that my job was securely

Same role

great and talent team/culture

Coordinator (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 24 March 2021

overall not a bad company. extended benefit is pretty basic with pension plan. The company promotes collaborating culture with good training system. Unfortunately the management team is not always leaders of the example. Some top management team member have no hospitality background and don't understand the company's policy.Dealing with demanding customers plus rotating shifts can make work more stressful. not a work/life balance type of job unless you are at the top of seniority.

Pros

free lunch and extended benefit

Cons

long hours

Great perks for travel

Coordinator (Current Employee) - Moncton, NB - 21 February 2019

If you enjoy travel, love selling and people, this may be a great fit for you. If you have the freedom to travel, there are opportunities that will be rewarding.

Great job, often busy.

Shift Eningeer (Current Employee) - Victoria, BC - 16 October 2023

Pros : Fair pay, good benifits, strong union, friendly coworkers and supportive management, travel discounts.Cons : Aging building, occasionally guests are snobby, high turnover in some departments and it can be very busy at times.Overall a great place to work in a nice location. Large company with lots of sideways mobility within the union or more broadly the hotel chain. Breaking into a management position is not impossible. Good for both a summer job, or a career.
