When I was hired I thought Hotel Kabuki was a great place to work, but now I'm not too sure.

I have been working at Joie de Vivre

Pros- Center of Japan Town
- Decent Pay
- Great Coworkers
- Perks

Cons- Inexperienced top leadership with little sense of direction
- New ownership with lots of changes
- Average Benefits (recent reductions)
- Policy being crafted on the fly (new standards/demands sent out via email and not in employee handbook)
- Decreasing Morale
- Lack of trust from GM
- Poor communication

Advice to Senior Management- Conduct a Climate Survey and hear what the employees have to say
- Rub elbows with the employees to experience first hand what their frustrations are
- Listen to the empoloyees
- Trust but verify the employees
- Changes and reductions in benefits were harsh and even harsher when only two months notice was provided. Give ample notice to your staff before making life changing moves like this (6 Months)
- Pitch in and help out when staff is short handed
