It's a great company to work for, it has good opportunities
Meeting different people everyday from across the world exciting. My colleagues and I have strong relationship and we're eager to help one another. You need to push yourself in order to succeed in life. Working with numbers and especially companies revenue it gives me an understanding on how a company is generating its revenue. Working with different people from across the world which some of them are a bit sceptical about the country

Our hotel is one very busy hotel, one has to adapt with the work load and pressure I work with amazing people, staff is verry friendly at all times yes at times thing around the hotel it not always happy go lucky but one thing I’ve learned is that a person should always see a way out to solve a problem and lean from what has happened. I must I’ve learned so much around the hotel as a whole from all departments. I really enjoy working in a enthusiastic eniromemt where I will always learn new things, interacting with Guest it Clients I what I love at most.
Pros: You become more independent due to the work load and pressure and able to handle different situation one encounters
Cons: Working hours are reasonable and does accommodate oneself
