What are the advantages and disadvantages of being in the hotel industry?

Advantages of being in the hotel industry:

1. The hotel has no pollution

Stay away from silica dust, magnetism, fluorine, potassium silicate, phosphorus, plastic, and heavy metals , mercury poisoning, radiation, etc. When choosing the hotel industry, at least keep your body healthy, because we are here to find money. Even if we don’t find money, we must ensure that our health is good.

2. The hotel industry makes people cheerful

In the hotel industry, especially the front line of business, you can deal with successful people every day. Instead of dealing with goods every day, you deal with bosses every day. You can improve your own quality and quickly increase your knowledge. Only with a high level of understanding can you see the things underneath clearly and face problems psychologically with a clear mind.

3. Hotel work is relaxed and leisurely

When we work in a hotel, we step on clean carpets and clean marble, listen to happy background music, and enjoy the warmth of winter and summer. The air-conditioning is cool, clothes are washed in the hotel, meals are taken care of, all the work is hand work, playing and playing, it is almost like working and playing at the same time.

Disadvantages of working in the hotel industry:

1. Low starting point (salary, job position)

In the hotel industry, no matter which school you graduate from, You have to start low. Your academic qualifications don’t matter at the beginning. Diploma, bachelor’s degree and master’s degree are all basically the same. Your academic background will bring you more job opportunities, and the hotel will give you some important tasks from time to time. When you successfully complete them, you can enter the next stage. But as many people have complained, the starting salary is 3,000 or 4,000, which is pretty good.

2. High pressure

Those who work in the operation department of the hotel industry, such as the catering department, guest room department, and sales department, will face tremendous pressure at different times, especially during holidays when family and friends are busy. Rest time is often the busiest time at work. Not everyone can experience this kind of work and personal pressure. And when you can balance work and personal relationships well, the comfort of family and friends understanding each other is difficult for others to understand.

3. The relationship is complex

Remember that in hotel management textbooks, as a general manager, there are only three guests, owners, employees and customers. If the saying "the customer is God" is true, it means that he has three gods, and no one can afford to offend him. Especially in middle and high-level management work, this kind of relationship wrangling and internal fighting often consumes more energy than external pressure.
