Starwood Hotels & Resorts Reviews
-
Pros
Well regarded hotel brands. Youthful and progressive culture relative to competitors. Broad selection of desirable locations to work. Opportunities for promotion if willing to move,
Cons
Constant management upheaval creating uncertain work environment and a culture of fear and disunity. Quick to layoff or restructure. Loyalty not rewarded....company comes first.
Advice to Senior Management
Focus more on long term outlook for the company, as most attention is on quarterly earnings. Take care of employees and guests.....deep cost cuts and layoffs are a short-term ineffectual approach.
