Disappointing. Was not given an opportunity to learn, grow or improve.

Business Outlook

Pros

Large company, large network. Great f&b facilities, good fitness facilities.

Cons

NO heart. Employees act very proud and do not help their colleagues. Maybe they feel they need to behave that way because of the brand association. However, it was a disturbing experience for me - I would not recommend it to anyone who is interested in a useful career progression and/or learning opportunities.
