Pros

Benefits are okay. If you are lucky there might be free fruit on Monday.

Cons

During the Covid-19 pandemic the company was considered essential(hotels) and had to lay off many employees(understandable) but, the email that was used to convey this to the remaining staff used words like coconutty and pineapplier. This was a serious subject and it came across very bad using "kiddie" words. After the state of Washington issued the Stay Home - Stay Healthy order resulting in non-essential businesses to close and if possible to have your remaining employees work from home they decided that it should remain business as usual and everyone still had to come into the corporate offices even though there were several options available to allow these employees to work from home. The official word was that the "Company Policy" does not allow for work from home so they would not allow it. They even continued to have there executive meetings with 10+ people present in the conference room.

Thank you for your recent review. Pineapple Hospitality, not unlike the rest of the hospitality industry across our nation and world, finds itself in an unprecedented circumstance. In a time of ever-changing information, protocols, and varying local, state and federal initiatives, I can most assuredly share with you that there is no such thing as “"business as usual" right now. Not for Pineapple. Not for our team members. Not for those affected directly by COVID-19. With that said, hotels have been designated as an essential service. To that end, our properties are open and operational to ensure availability for the lodging needs of our country’s military, first responders, city workers, utility workers, those needing to practice social distancing from their families, etc. While we are happy to be of service to our country, and happier still to be able to maintain the employment of as many of our team members as possible right now, we understand that uncertainty and anxiety are pervasive. We understand that our team members have needs and have done our level best to balance those personal needs with those of the business. Each team member is unique and we encourage open communication. Pineapple is committed to weathering this storm. While there is no rearview mirror by which we can vet our current path to determine if one direction may be better than another, we hold true to our commitment to a holistic value system of doing the most good where it counts. Our team members are the very best part of Pineapple and we appreciate their service and dedication.
