    This job has ruined my perception of the whole hospitality industry.
    The good thingsMost coworkers have been respectful and easy to talk to.
    The challengesTerrible manager that changed many things which has made it hard for many people to do there job. He also makes comments that are not appropriate. There is no loyalty to those putting in hard work, therefore many people are choosing to look for new jobs. The business is also going under financially, meaning they are making many budget cuts that are affecting employees jobs
