Advice to Senior Management

cut your Denver office spending and give them omplyees back the money you took from them.

Pros

Area worked in was realtively low lever however always made clear advancement was possible not only in chosen line at the time but also if I were wanting to get into different area within the company

Cons

New area of the company at the time and Management at the beginning was clearly throwin into situation with little expierence.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue with overall way of doing things however implement new ideas and regualtions slowly and considerately rather than out of nowhere with no for warning or preperation.

Pros

local icon, heavily supported by locals. most staff members good people, still greeted with enthusiasm and affection when I come in.

Cons

Nepotism raises its ugly head. Favoritism is rampant. Written warnings are fabricated. Management has a recurring habit of getting rid of anyone they feel is threatening their position. Upper management has no clue how to handle a restaurant (hotel) so they can't be bothered with the truth as they don't know what to do with it.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to the supervisors & the majority of staff. Open your mind to something besides the comfortable black and white rules in front of you. Why is it supervisors last less than a year, even though they're doing a GREAT job? To restaurant management and the liars on staff: one day this will all come back to bite you.

Pros

Dynamic, open organization that encourages ideas, innovation, and allows for creativity and unique solutions. The people are terrific to work with and the sense of family is strong. I like working for an organization that has clearly defined values and lives them out in their decisions and actions.

Cons

Not all areas are clearly aligned with each other and funding for important infrastructure is not always avaiable.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep moving forward in the direction we are headed.

Pros

Sage has a great work environment with great people. There are opportunities to sharpen skills and take on new challenges. The most rewarding part of working with Sage is the generosity of volunteering and community involvement.

Cons

There are no major downsides to working at Sage. This company is recognized as a leader in the hospitality business!

Advice to Senior Management

Management is doing all the right things to be competitve in today's market. I know they keep focused on the 8 Values. I hope that we continue to celebrate each victory along the way and reflect on each opportunity for learning.

Pros

They are well respected within the hospitality industry and working for this company looks great on a resume - if you can suffer through the horrible corporate politics for a couple of years.

They are a family first company. Though you may work a lot of hours if you need time off for family it is granted.

Hourly employees are well respected and encouraged

Cons

Sage advertises amongst it's employees that they are proud to promote from within. Yet on my property alone there have been 3 different managers that have applied for Directors positions that they were at the time, fulfilling on a temporarily basis (3 - 6 months) successfully, Yet those positions were filled from outside applicants.

Directors are treated like corporate Gods. Managers are required to work longer and harder hours than anyone on property and yet there opinions and job experience are routinely questioned or rejected.

If anything is expressed to HR about these practices or any grievance for that matter the HR director make it her personal goal to either ostracize that employee to the point of quitting or they become fired.

Advice to Senior Management

Please follow up your words of encouragement by actual example. When it comes to applicants and promotions - many people look good on paper but in practice are not the best fit. If this is not corrected you will end up losing valuable employees to your competitors which will only hurt your good name in the long run,
