Pluspunten

The name looks good on a resume, and you do get a discount on rooms with Marriott, based on availability of course.

Minpunten

I was led to believe that my prior experience, as well as my enthusiasm would lead to a rewarding, fulfilling position with Ritz-Carlton. Unfortunately, "Guest Relations Coordinator" was a nice way of phrasing "lobby greeter with no potential for advancement". Ummm... standing in the lobby for four hours at a time is not what I spent $100,000 on a Bachelor's degree for. I applied for transfers to other positions a couple times, and watched while they hired people from outside the company rather than cross training me (an "employee of the month").

Supportive team environment focused on guest satisfaction. Exposure to a diverse clientele from around the world. Clear service standards and expectations. Valuable experience in communication, problem-solving, and multitasking. Opportunities for internal advancement within hospitality and customer service roles. Employee recognition programs that celebrate outstanding service. Pride in representing a company known for high standards and exceptional guest experiences.

Fast-paced environment that can be stressful during peak seasons. High expectations for service and attention to detail. Heavy call volume during busy periods.

After Covid, management became slightly disorganized and not as friendly, or helpful as before.
