There are good properties to work at and bad ones, just like most jobs. I work as a full time night auditor with a solid crew and great management (now… previous manager was nice but incompetent), and I’m quite happy to say I make a fair chunk more than my state’s minimum. That all said, it does vary heavily based on property location, size, amenities, management, how well coworkers gel together – so apply to job postings carefully if you go into hospitality. It does give you fun stories though, that’s why I love the job.

Reddit used to have a sub for hospitality stories. I think it was talesfromthefrontdesk? It was hilarious and depressing.
