    It amazes me that people don’t want to work in the fast moving field of hotel operations. Positions start at the minimum wage, and after six months to a year, remain there. Crumbling physical architecture compliments the online tangle of archaic hotel programs, run on the exciting Windows95 operating system. And while the guests may yell at you and treat you like you are beneath them, that’s alright, because management is only a phone call away to do the same.

      There are good properties to work at and bad ones, just like most jobs. I work as a full time night auditor with a solid crew and great management (now… previous manager was nice but incompetent), and I’m quite happy to say I make a fair chunk more than my state’s minimum. That all said, it does vary heavily based on property location, size, amenities, management, how well coworkers gel together – so apply to job postings carefully if you go into hospitality. It does give you fun stories though, that’s why I love the job.

        Reddit used to have a sub for hospitality stories. I think it was talesfromthefrontdesk? It was hilarious and depressing.
