Columbia Hospitality Compagnie réclamée
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.

Columbia is very good to us by hospitality standards, but the market wages for hospitality workers are extremely low (less than half Washington state's median wage.) The leadership at my property has tried to find opportunities for me, but there aren't any in my area.
Qu’est-ce qui est le plus positif à propos de la culture et de l’environnement de votre entreprise?
Hard to choose one thing. There's a good amount of autonomy at work, and the environment is relaxed.
Qu’est-ce qui vous plaît le plus dans l’équipe de direction?
Property-level leaders are very personable, expressive of appreciation, and considerate of my needs and desires. Whoever handles compensation makes sure that I'm well-compensated for the position and area I'm in.
Quelles sont les meilleures choses à propos de votre équipe?
Everyone currently on the team wants to help our guests, and everyone is detail-oriented and knowledgeable enough to succeed in helping them. I love being able to trust my coworkers to get it done!
Quelle est la meilleure partie de votre programme de rémunération?
I make among the highest wages in town for my position. I should say that I don't make anything close to a thriving wage; I can't afford rent in my town, tuition, a decent car, etc. Higher wages or more advancement opportunities would be necessary if I'm going to stay in the industry.
