As the hotel industry has grown to make up a larger piece of the economy, there have been more jobs available, and many people have moved into hotels to work. However, with the increased demand for hotel workers, it is also important to remember that there are also more people trying to get these jobs. And since there are more people competing for these entry-level jobs, employers don't have to be so picky—they can afford to hire whoever they can get to do the job.
The fact is that most hotels do not care about their employees' well-being or their lives outside of work: they just want the employee to complete their tasks effectively and efficiently (and contribute to profit!). In fact, some hotels expect so much from their employees that they end up violating federal labor laws or state statutes. Here's a list of a few reasons why working in a hotel may not be for you:
1) You want your employer to care about you as a person at work and outside of work.
2) You want your employer or customers to not harass you or retaliate against you if you report them for doing something illegal or unethical.
3) You want your employer to follow applicable labor laws.
4) You want a schedule that makes sense for your life
5) You want a job and not rush hour.
5) You want a temporary conducive lodge and not a room filled with bed bugs.
