    What’s it like working at ALH Hotels?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees value the staff discounts available at ALH Hotels and affiliated businesses, including substantial savings on food and retail purchases. The team environment is frequently praised, with colleagues described as friendly and supportive, often leading to lasting friendships. Many appreciate the fast-paced nature of the work, which provides opportunities to develop new skills, and the generally friendly customers and patrons they interact with daily.

    However, there are some potential challenges to consider. Support from upper management and operations can vary, with some employees noting communication could be strengthened. Staffing levels during busy periods may stretch teams thin, and training processes could be more structured to help new employees settle in more comfortably. Work/life balance can be demanding, particularly for managers and full-time staff working long shifts, and the workload during peak times requires good time management. Additionally, systems and equipment at some venues may benefit from modernisation to improve operational efficiency.

    Not a good place to work as a full time staff member / manager.
    The good things-Discounts for yourself and family - Fast paced work environments, never boring - Opportunities for growth and learning in numerous areas
    The challenges-Minimal support from head office, ops managers & senior managers -High expectations but minimal training -Long hours, 9-12 hour days. Sometimes no breaks as a manager -No flexibility, leave rejected, punished for taking sick days /having family issues even on a weekday -Constantly understaffed & many labour cuts. Overworked & stressful job. -Systems outdated making it hard to learn & work effectively -Negative attitudes from staff as a result of the above / managements lack of support & high expectations -Customer complaints due to quality, long wait times, dirty tables. Mainly due to lack of staff - Many venues in need of repair -Salary does not match workload or the hours (45 hours but paid for 38) -Full time staff FORCED to work Christmas Day with no option, which is so inconsiderate. No value for staff or their family / wellbeing. -No recognition for hard work. Bonuses are either non eligible or minimal. Staff are called out for doing the wrong thing but never the right.

    Just look for a job somewhere else. Its not worth the headache.
    The good thingsNothing to enjoy here. Everything comes in frozen bags, just open them up and serve them.
    The challengesThere was no communication or support from higher-ups. They just throw you into a pit and expect you to somehow make it work. Every time there is a problem, they won’t even acknowledge it for months. Nobody cares about hygiene or cleaning here
