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.

My overall experience cannot be described in 300 words but in short, management especially the General Manager, needs to be replaced.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
In short, communication and general leadership skills.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I feel as though I am not taken seriously as a woman, constantly undermined and undervalued. I'm not sure it can be improved at this point
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
There are some employees that do the absolute bare minimum but are promised high positions while the ones doing the work get micromanaged. It would be useful if these employees took pride in their work.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
We are never given reviews, managers rarely talk to us other than to complain. As for compensation, a raise is needed every position, the list of tasks that we do grows daily but not our pay.
