Best Western - Avis

It was good 👍 All my coworkers were great, but it got real busy during the summer. Extra hours but definitely hard work. Current housekeeping manager is a great guy (:

Toxic work culture, lack of support, and disregard for employee needs make job challenging at Best Western. Enjoyable part is guest interaction.

Room Attendant (Ancien employé) - Leduc, AB - 15 novembre 2023

management not listening to the needs and concerns of the employees. They are more focused on their own agenda and personal gain, rather than creating a positive and supportive work environment.The workplace culture is toxic and filled with negativity. There is a lack of teamwork and collaboration, as everyone is out for themselves. There is a constant feeling of stress and pressure, as the management sets unrealistic expectations and deadlines.The hardest part of the job is dealing with the constant lack of resources and support. Whether it's not having enough linens or towels for the rooms, or broken equipment that is not being fixed in a timely manner, it makes it extremely difficult to provide a high level of service to the guests.Despite all the challenges, the most enjoyable part of the job is interacting with the guests and providing them with a positive experience. It's rewarding to see their satisfaction and knowing that you were able to make their stay enjoyable, despite the obstacles faced within the company.Overall, my experience at Best Western has been poor due to the management's lack of support and the toxic workplace culture. It has taught me the importance of effective leadership and creating a positive work environment for employees to thrive in.

Good employer

Front Desk Agent (Employé actuel) - Alberta - 14 novembre 2023

👍🏼Good company to work with in general. Depends of each hotel's management and their staff. They have good perks and reduced hotel rooms for employees.

Horrible, toxic environment

Housekeeper (Ancien employé) - Fredericton, NB - 13 novembre 2023

I worked there for 5 months and the entire time the supervisors would gossip about peoples personal business and then lie and complain when you mention it to anybody else. The main housekeeper boss doesnt care for anything that isnt “perfect” and they and most room checkers will send you back to a room for missing a coffee pod when it would be easier and faster to grab it themselves. They make the work environments very stressful and then they will gossip to one another about how they are an “elite team” and that the “rest of the housekeepers need to understand they are lower”

Hospitality is for guests

Office (Ancien employé) - Leduc - 9 novembre 2023

A great group of people, but expect to adopt a lot of work with very little compensation. The teams definitely are very friendly and want to do their best, but sometimes expectations from management can be excessive considering the remuneration.

Be careful

Housekeeping (Ancien employé) - Cobourg, ON - 7 novembre 2023

Be really careful and be wary if you smoke or want to go outside for a break. You are not to leave the building or go outside for a smoke break. They won't allow smokers to smoke outside. You can't have smell of smoke on your clothing. You can't vape either. You don't find out about any of this until you have signed the dotted line.

Points positifs

Nice staff

Points négatifs

Stringent outdated rules

Worst place I worked

Night Auditor (Ancien employé) - Port Alberni, BC - 2 novembre 2023

This was the worst place I have ever worked. I wasn’t paid what I was offered at hire, when I questioned it I was promised it would be cleared up and never did for months. When I pushed for what I was promised I was lied about and pushed out, more like highschool than a work place very unprofessional, horrible communication and more promises than follow through. Over worked underpaid with no possible OT even if you work it.

Points positifs

great benefits

Points négatifs

no breaks, only half hour wage towards any food to feed yourself from there.

Extremely stressful & draining

Housekeeper (Ancien employé) - Fredericton, NB - 22 septembre 2023

This job would be awesome if the management was better. Management picks apart at everything you do and you leave work feeling like you are never able to improve. It is a very toxic work environment where managers & supervisors gossip about their staff and there is no privacy or respect to their employees private and personal problems in and outside of work. Definitely not a safe place to work mentally and if you struggle dealing with constant criticism and belittling, I would not suggest this job to you. You also do not get paid for breaks that you are legally entitled to getting paid for on an 8 hour shift and even if you don't take those breaks they still deduct the break time from your pay (half hour).

Points positifs

They try to do things to get staff together (pizza parties, bbqs)

Points négatifs

Poor Management
