Pros

Awesome company. Can’t speak enough about how much I love it there.

Cons

45 jobs were just cut. During December no less, right before Christmas, it was announced that we will not have jobs. We only have about 8 weeks of work left. Full departments were cut and other departments were cut in half. But supposedly it’s okay but it’s a good thing for the 100 or so people who remain employed. And it’s great for the longevity of the company as a whole. Awesome. I’m not someone who was laid off. I’m just in shock that they would do this. I feel as though I have been mislead by all of the corporate engagement that was once so strongly pursued. I didn’t ever think that this company only saw us as a number on a spreadsheet and that we were expendable for their financial transactions. They care more about making a bigger “foot print” in the hospitality industry than the people who live in the region of nwi and who wanted to retire from that company. Very disappointing. Lost respect and cannot trust what I thought I knew about the company.

Pros

My career with White Lodging has been an incredible journey of growth, mentorship, and opportunity. I came to the company from a franchise chain restaurant background, bringing a strong foundation in service and operations, but White Lodging is where I truly developed as a hospitality leader. Over the past five years, I’ve been fortunate to be mentored by many talented leaders across the organization who continuously challenged and invested in my development. I started in Food & Beverage as a manager, progressed to AGM of the restaurant, transitioned into the role of Director of Housekeeping, and for the past two years have served as the Assistant General Manager of Courtyard. What I value most about my experience at White Lodging is the emphasis on internal growth, cross‑department development, and leadership coaching. The trust placed in me to lead across different disciplines has shaped me into a well‑rounded, people‑focused leader, and I’m proud of how much I’ve grown in such a short period of time.

Cons

I have nothing to note.
