Macdonald Hotels & Resorts

I wss bullied by the Head housekeeper. ..made to feel like a complete idiot and Lazy...even though i was working hard and making a great effort in the the 3 wks i worked there i didnt have one Word of enouragement...even though on my last day i did 9 rooms .. (7 fue out and 2 stayovers )...it was a Sunday...started at 9...but couldnt get into the rooms till nearly 10 ...so while waiting prepared linen and cleaned corridors...when all rooms were finished it was 4.30...i was told i wasnt quick enough...so unfair...bosses need to direct but she was down right rude and had a bad attitude...never felt so bad in all my working life...And left the next day...i've always been a good hard worker...have always been praised by my former employers....I regret having worked there

Worked for Macdonald Hotels for a total of 3 years, working my way from a Receptionist to Front Office Manager, at one of the smaller ones that the company doesn't put any money back in to. 

In the time I was there, I had 5 General Managers, 6 Operations Managers. 

The company offer no real benefits, trust me when I say your pay is probably your benefit. 

Weekends are horrific, and absolutely manic due to lack of staff and lack of care. 

Staff food is inedible. 

There is NO work/life balance.

ONLY advantage to this is if you stick it out, they'll progress you quickly because its the only way to keep you. 


I would not return to Macdonald Hotels, or recommend.

The people I worked with in my team were amazing and I made a couple friends from the workplace that I still keep in contact with outside of work but I sadly after 7 years had to take redunandcy. I became severely depressed when I had to go in. People just over worked, myself included for min wage. Not worth my mental health. Lack of communication of anything that happens and always left in the dark. Micro managed and felt like anything I did wasn't ever good enough. 

Fast paced environment, always busy 
I have learnt how to keep the team motivated and always strive to improve
Co-Workers are enthusiastic 
The hardest part of the job is to change register depending on people's mood
the most enjoyable part is to please guests' special requests, doing my best to make their stay memorable

I loved every minute of working for MDH, and if I could go back in time I would never have left.
I think it depends on the role, but as a PA with the team I was in the job was amazing.  I would travel to various hotels booking meetings, taking minutes, and being thoroughly spoilt by all the GM's.

Worked as a waiter when I was younger.
This is a great starter job, the environment is fast paced but not always so its alright. It is a very good place to learn to have a good etiquette and how to be polite to the customers.

Bad management, less workers than hotel needs. Also bad conditions for life and work balance. Bad paied job, really hardwork, which woman cannot do like lifting really haevy bags (cause hotel mis also loundry porter)

Great brand to work , excellent trainings , excellent management team , excellent team members all over, long hours sometimes have to be provided to our VIPs guest such as stars and dignitaries, glad to be part of the family and the brand

Nice work experience, staff able to help you anytime, professional kitchen and professional utensils, high quality food with good standards , recomand to who want to improve his ability !

as a culinary trainee we start our day by preparing the breakfast set up and preparing for the lunch and dinner rush. after which we prepare for the next mornings service.
