Maintenance Fitter (Former Employee) – Auckland – 2 July 2019
I would like to say good place to work with but no recognition for whatever good things you done for the company. They heavily rely on the guest comments. If guests mention your name then you are the best. Otherwise u are nothing for them even though you done a lot for the company.
Pros
Free lunch
Cons
Long hours
Fun and challenging

Commis Chef (Current Employee) – Auckland City, Auckland – 17 May 2018
Friendly people to work with and you can learn a lot from other colleagues. Has a variety of different Ethnic backgrounds.
Hardest part of my job is not getting the support to progress to the next level in the required field that I am currently working in and the most enjoyable part of my job is that I get to do what I love to do.

Senior Guest Service Member (Former Employee) – Christchurch, Canterbury – 6 January 2017
Every day was a new challenge, no two day were the same.
I was able to put my extreme customer service into play and reaped the benefits of that.
That team was the best bunch of people I have ever had the privilege to work with.
The 12 to 14 hour days were a bit much at times.
The people and the comradeship were the things that I will remember.
Thank you CP/ Park Royal.

High intensity work environment in the thick of the hotel industry
Group Reservations Coordinator (Former Employee) – Auckland, New Zealand – 3 January 2017
Crowne Plaza Auckland is mainly a business hotel, with the leisure groups promenant in peak season meaning a persistent minimum occupancy of 80% all year. It is a vert fast pace high intensity job to coordinate group accommodation bookings with many different aspects and characters juggle. As it is only one person to handle the emails, calls, amendments etc it is very important to keep note and to make lists in order to stay on top. It is also important to liaise with almost every department within the hotel as the groups definitely will affect their sectors - maintaining good relationships with each department is very important. Crowne Plaza auckland was great to strengthen my experience within the hotel sector and to give extra knowledge on the accommodation side of hospitality.

Complimentary meal per shift and dry cleaned uniforms

Long hours

Receptionist & Concierge (Former Employee) – Auckland – 14 April 2016
very freestyle organisation culture and had pressure to improve team and yourself,
Bad training program, doesn't have training procedure. learnt from junior who only worked for 4~5months.
If you have lots of experience and get used to hospitality life, then should be aright but not recommended for junior, not many chance to promote.
