Birchwood Hotel Reviews

 

Offered a great learning platform other than my field of study.

This has been a great experience for me. I grew up around people and worked with people my entire life, I am a Jehovah's Witness and after graduating I travelled to India on an internship, I learned a lot about myself and people in general. Since I came back I have been at Birchwood hotel as a IT technician in a hospitality sector(starting to think working with people is my calling) and I'm still learning a whole lot from my managers and mentor, I come across different nationalities a day and that's amazing. Every job has its challenges, mine specifically is attending a call to a Chinese/Vietnamese/Spanish guest that has no idea how to communicate in English(Thank god for smartphone's and google translate).. This job has taught me more than my field of study but other jargons of careers as well, now I smile all day and learned greeting gestures of all sorts because its required of me.

Pros: Great platform to network
Cons: Calming down a furious foreign guest that's unable to speak English

Excellent learning growth

I have a great team of colleagues which we work with hand in hand with. I have started with the food and beverages services learnership after where i got a permanent post at front office and also on sales and marketing. I get to meet different types of people which is a learning curve into knowing how other people live because we get communicate with them. Dealing with difficult guests is always a challenge but following procedures is always a solution

Pros: Self development opportunities
Cons: Long hours

I have learned alot

Lately we have been extremely busy. I handle China International groups and that is a lot of rooming lists, making group bookings and customizing pro forma invoices. I also make individual bookings, update payments and send them to accounts. My colleagues are great, we help each other when we are really busy. My manager is also great, she is also helpful if she is not busy.

Pros: We have a good HR department and yes a lot of positions are advertised
Cons: Once you are promoted, the salary does not change
