Its not been easy however, I must say it's been interesting. I am sustain by the challenges we face as hotel at this point in the history of the country particularly, as we all face the economic down turn. I manage the human element and material, I drive the sales and also interface with relevant Government Agencies so it has not been easy but interesting. I love the industry because its not stereo type every day you meet new challenges from both guest and issues from activities of running a hotel of 89 rooms three star hotel.
Cons
The industry spends more than 20% of its sales on energy yet you cannot rely on their supply rather always burning fuel or diesel and its attending repairs of the plants. The economic situation is also a major factor as corporate client where much of the hotel revenue comes from are financially precarious thereby making their payment very difficult and frustrating.
It has added value to my life and I learnt more about hospitality industries like their operations, method of their books recording and POS reconciliation.
Cons
Salary delay, working everyday and job insecurity.
The company provides a structured career path and opportunities for growth.
Cons
Because of the nature of the Industry, the company does not operate typical 8-5 work hours. Employees in the Operations arm of the business work on weekends, public holidays and run shifts. Early resumption when on morning shift and late closure when on afternoom shift.
