Front Desk Receptionist

May 2016 • Nampa, ID

What I liked

I appreciate the ever changing day to day experiences that happen in hospitality.

What I wish was different

I wish it came with higher pay.

Advice

Don’t let rude comments from guests get to you. It’s hard because you see them for longer and more often than any other service industry, but try to brush it off. However, report them and kick them out of the hotel if they become abusive. If your management doesn’t support you, get out.
