Hotel X Toronto Employee Reviews

It’s a great environment to work in and has benefits/discounts to the hotel for employees. Management is a bit shaky but no work environment will ever be perfect you just have to keep an open mind

Poor management

Cook (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 29 December 2022

Worked for 2 yrs and got laid off by COVID and problem between F&B catering and Hotel. Worked so much extra hours and got ill. If you work as a salary based, you will kill yourself, way too much work.

Pros

Learning new skills, more trainings

Cons

Bad working conditions, poor management

Es una excelente empresa el trabajo es más suave y gana lo justo para vivir como la gente en la ciudad.

Solo termine la primaria (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 29 June 2022

Que es una excelente empresa y los puestos de trabajo son más suave no son tan alterado a como dice la gente envidiosa y se gana lo justo para vivir como la gente en la ciudad relacionandose con diferente tipos de personas, cultura, educación entre otros pero en resumen es mejor que cualquier otra cosa en comparación con el salario de mi país es excellent.

Fun place

Guest Service Specialist (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 10 March 2022

Interesting atmosphere. The Hotel prior to COVID was a different place entirely from an employee standpoint. The management team is more so concerned with themselves than the employees

Terrible Environment

Housekeeping Attendant (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 28 March 2020

They love to lie and belittle employees. Don’t take your feelings into consideration. Micro management and nepotism at it’s worst! Management is terrible and everyone is very fake. Some employees were nice but that’s about it. Overpriced and overrated opulent hotel. Truly nothing special about this place.

Assistant Lead Concierge, Les Clefs d'Or Canada (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 24 March 2020

The staff are great and the management team are very helpful. It is a great place to work and everyone feels like they are part of your family. Food is included which is a plus.

Reception

Receptionist (Current Employee) - Toronto Pearson International Airport, ON - 2 February 2020

This type of work requires a lot of time and sacrifice, because professionals in this area have been doing their best to enhance the company, because the administrative work of a company starts at the reception, which is why we are obliged to do our best at all times

Won't recommend.

Housekeeping (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 1 January 2020

The job is killing in the business season. Won't recommend to a friend. Managers won't give you proper respect. Most people don't stay long enough, specially if you are direct hire it will be really challenging to pass the prohibition period.

Pros

Paid well

Cons

Too stressfull and managers will miss behave at times.

Extremely Proud to Call Hotel X Toronto Home!

Director of Marketing (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 17 September 2019

Having worked for the hotel now for a year, I can honestly say what a difference a year makes! I defy you to show me any property, let alone one as audacious and daring as Hotel X, that doesn't have growing pains. Is there a bit of a disconnect between certain departments? Yes. Is it getting better? 100% Every hotel has its own challenges from department to department. It was rough coming out of the gate in 2018, but we've got through them and those that come out the other side are WAY better off and better equipped both personally and professionally. This is great camaraderie and a sense of pride from the staff and management that befits a property as beautiful and impressive as Hotel X Toronto. I'm delighted I made the switch to take on this challenge and encourage others with a true passion for hospitality to do the same. It's the closest thing to working at a true resort that you'll find in Toronto!

Worst place ever.

Housekeeping (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 5 March 2019

At a glance, seems nice, inviting and clean. The truth of matter is management is terrible, place is dirty. Don't take my word for it. Look at their turnover.

Pros

Can't recall.

Cons

They don't tell you everything.

Cons

the work, the pay, the size of the property, the location

Official response from Hotel X Toronto

28 February 2019

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share a few more details regarding our security team and work environment.We do have a vast complex at our unique lakeside hotel, with extraordinary resort-style amenities, but I would like to clarify on some of the details mentioned here. We have a core security team of 8 people and we staff based on occupancy and events on site, so while the minimum staffing of security team members on a shift may be as low as two, we add more people to a shift whenever the activity in the hotel warrants it. We also add third party security if activities for the day require additional support for our core team. Our starting hourly rate is $20.83 and this seems to be competitive, if not among the highest paying hotels in Downtown Toronto. We hope that qualified candidates will come and take a look for themselves to see all that we offer to those who wish to join the team at Hotel X Toronto.

Great Place

Sales (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 13 December 2017

Great team with a family style attitude. Office space is brand new and is very luxurious and is high tech. Lots of great perks and benefits. Management is friendly and is there to help you if you need it.

Working on the pre-opening team for Hotel X Toronto has been an invaluable learning experience thus far. It's a challenging, fast-paced, yet rewarding work environment with great opportunities for career progression.
