Messy but fun

Server (Former Employee) - Beaver Creek, CO - 10 August 2023

The restaurant was short-staffed, so everyone was overworked and for that reason things were constantly more complicated than they had to be. But other than that, the coworkers were all super nice, and the environment was calm (most of the times).

Good Management

Gallery Host (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 28 June 2023

Booking days off could be tough at times given the small team but nonetheless the general manager is very accommodating with requests when operations permits. Pretty straightforward with duties and responsibilities for each department.

flexible schedule

staff cafeteria, discounts on hotel dining and spa and discounts for hotel rooms around the world

still the lowest paid industry in Alberta

Great workplace and great people!

Server (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 15 May 2023

I was there for 5 years and had the best time! I enjoyed working with my employees and the benefits were amazing! It is a unionized hotel so new hires could be tough to climb the seniority ladder

A conference centre rather than a hotel

Valet Driver / Guest Services (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 28 April 2023

There is no front office management so chaos reigns. It makes for a really unpleasant work environment and a lot of the responsibility for management's poor decision-making is passed on to hourly-paid staff.The hotel is more conference/event venue with a destination bar than it is a hotel.

Pros

They let you go home at the end of the day

Cons

Utter chaos because of failure of front office management/operations

I had a bad cold, I didn't want to stop from work, but the doctor recommended I took at least three day

Toxic environment

Chef (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 2 March 2023

Culinary management team is toxic environment. Most of them are from the restaurants which is small business compare to hotel business thus, nothing is well organized. Lack of communication between staffs and manager s. None of them are cared about the staff at all.

So-and-so

Banquet Server (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 3 February 2023

Great if you have a thick skin and a willingness to work hard for certain amounts of time. Not so much if you aren't. Management is hit or miss, the people are good if you can mesh with them. Seniority is massive.

Could be better

Pros

Unionized

Cons

No work life balance
