Company Description |
|
Why work for Candlewood? OUR TEAM ROCKS!!
Let's be frank, ok? If you're seeking a hospitality career in a huge, impersonal hotel company with a staff of mostly part-time employees with no stake in the company, forget about us. If you dream of a place where individuals really make a difference, teamwork pays off and commitment matters, you're going to love us! "Take care of our employees and they'll take care of the guests," says Jack DeBoer, the inventor of the extended-stay concept, who also happens to be Candlewood Chairman and CEO (and an all around realy nice guy).
Jack leads with energy and enthusiam and is proud of the team: "This is the best group of people I've ever worked with." Candlewood team members love their jobs and the people they work with, according to a company-wide survey. They feel their contributions directly affect guest satisfaction and make a difference. They consider Candlewood an excellent place to work. You can tell by the comments! "Candlewood is by far the best company I've ever worked for!" "I love this company!"
In less than five years, Candlewood has grown from one hotel in Kansas to a national brand - with properties open coast to coast and more on the way, including our first European hotel.
At Candlewood, our neighbors are important. Because we are all part of a bigger world, we actively encourage community involvement. For example, Candlewood plans to sponsor Race for the Cure events in every Candlewood community. The money we raise goes to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The events themselves will be planned, coordinated and carried out by the local hotel team.
Money is great at Candlewood. Management salaries are above the market average and benefits are generous. Team members learn from extraordinary training programs based on Harvard Business School Best Practices. Each year outstanding hotel performance and individual achievements are recognized with special awards and other extras.
If all of this fits your style, work ethic and personal goals, add your own chapter to the Candlewood story! |
