Pros

Only benefits are the hotel discounts from EVT. Which means 50% off hotels but it’s all just subject to availability. I was asked to work a lot even though I was a casual, I was doing consistent shifts.

Cons

They make front desk employees fold towels, make beds and ask employees to apologise and take blame for complaints that are always present, like tv not working or AC not working. And when the higher ups come, they make put in extra effort to look a bit clean the day before, so that we can keep our job. I personally experience a lot of threats regarding my employment, even though I put a constant effort to improve, I was just burden. I was unfairly dismissed, because I took a break, I was entitled. I wasn’t given an opportunity to respond or even a warning. When I asked what the reason was nothing was provided. But, I knew I got out of something very toxic.

Pros

Will make you busy with consistent working hours every week. Absolutely amazing setup of the restaurant.

Cons

Worst management ever. Work n life balance is nonexistent. Egos are very high among the managers in kitchen n front of house with no motivation of doing better in life or to keep the work environment happy for existing staff members. Constant lack of respect towards junior staff. No direction. Highly illegal activities go on behind our back. One of them is obviously altering time sheets without the knowledge or consent of the person of interest. Inedible staff meals that forces staff to buy their own food and higher position chefs and manager will get to eat whatever they want as most of the staff would go home hungry.
