Pros
I was given opportunities here to be promoted quickly and enjoyed working with my clients and gaining new skills. However, these perks by no measure outweigh the cons.
Cons
I worked in Sales at Graduate Athens and saw corporate bigotry poison my property. In my 8 months of working there, they fired 4 extremely capable 50+ year olds, all with at least 20 years of experience in the industry. Graduate Hotels (funded by AJ Capital) DISCRIMINATES AGAINST EXPERIENCED EMPLOYEES and puts impossible sales goals pressure on their sales department (my experience). The corporate folks would rather spend top dollar flying in and out of the property, staying at the hotel for free, and having company-paid hours-long lunches, than listening to on-site employees and their real concerns for the property. This company is corrupt and I do not recommend Graduate Hotels for job-seekers, nor guests. If you have questions about my story, feel free to message me.
