Columbia Hospitality Claimed Company
OUR ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT IS ALIVE AND WELL We'll try just about anything once. This entrepreneurial spirit is how Columbia Hospitality got its start. As a trusted partner of the Port of Seattle, having planned and executed many events for them, they asked Columbia CEO and Founder, John Oppenheimer, if he knew anyone who would be a good operator for the soon-to-be-built Bell Harbor International Conference Center. Having no management experience, naturally, John said, “Yes, US!” When asked why, his response was, “Because we’ve never done it before, but no one knows what your clients want better than us!” We got the job, and we still have that job decades later. read more

Columbia Hospitality Operations Department Employee Reviews

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

The mentoring skills are of exceptional quality

Review from Operations Dept

Their actions convey that my opinion matters. Their approach to the project at hand is that we work in it as a team. They have moved past titles and office locations to work as a team to do a great job together.

They are transparent, caring and supportive!

Review from Operations Dept

Review from Operations Dept

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Our gm needs to actually listen to opinions and set aside his pride and admit when hes wrong. Help people grow instead of creating some bs position then trying to act like our raises are so grest but then pay only 1000 less anually to a new role. Total slap in the face. And im "on the fast track" ha

Management for the most part is helpful now. Our new front desk manager is hands on and helps us a lot as we need it. I think in general upper mangement is too worried about saving the company money. Not about keeping their employees happy or keeping them.

Review from Operations Dept · See Columbia Hospitality's Response

Integrity is non-existent from the leadership team. Additionally, it's clear that personal relationships and social status are substantially more valued than job performance. The double standards resulting from this may even present a liability for Columbia Hospitality.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

I feel undervalued because ive been told many times how great i am but i am not wver rewarded or even thanked or appreciated. Our gm plays favorites and loves other privledged people but looks down on anyone else

Most Front desk agents in California make anywhere from 18-20$ an hour... I've been at PMR for a couple of years now and have recieved a "raise" once. Management says its because we get incentives. Incentives aren't like tips. Also being "full time" and no one having full time hours is a bummer

Review from Operations Dept · See Columbia Hospitality's Response

Tips should be given to each emploeyee not equalled. And it shouldnt be taxed. We dont get paud enough and shouldnt have to get taxed on top of our tips.

Review from Operations Dept · See Columbia Hospitality's Response

My wage has not been consistent with inflation. Also, the tipshare distribution could use a review.

Review from Operations Dept · See Columbia Hospitality's Response

Coming back from COVID, the management roles are now very redefined. As a front office manager, I wear a lot of hats and do more than a standard FOM would do before COVID in my opinion. However, I am not paid any differently for extra responsibilities. It is the art of simply "paying my dues"
