Springhill Suites Syracuse Carrier Circle

Image
By
Yesterday, I attended the grand opening reception of the Springhill Suites Syracuse Carrier Circle and met with several Marriott managers. I am glad that Marriott is bringing an all-suite hotel to Syracuse. I like the blue and green theme, the lobby, the market, and the guestrooms --- it seems to me that this brand catches the hotel design trends very well. As several other Marriott brands are also undergoing some changes, I am expecting to see more refresh looks of Marriott properties in Syracuse in the near future.

    I am happy to hear that Marriot decided to bring themselves over here to Syracuse presenting an All-suite hotel. From the look of your album on Facebook, the interior design seems very "home" like and "welcoming". I think the reason why thy put the market at a hotel is for guest to buy what they need without having to go out of the hotel which is a great way to have your guests spend more money at the hotel. I think it was a great idea for Marriot to use earthy colors such as blue and green for "going green" kind of.Their guest rooms are lovely and new. It seems comfortable and very modern and up to date.

    However, though they are new hotel, do you think they will last in the years to come? Do you think they will be able to upkeep their hotel in Syracuse and be on top? What makes them different than the Sheraton located on the Syracuse Campus and what exactly do they have to offer that other hotels don't ?

Is It OK for Hotel Staff to Wear Piercings and Tattoos?

By
Time has changed. I see more and more college students wearing piercings and tattoos nowadays, but is it OK for hotel staff to wear piercings and tattoos? The answer is “no, no, no.” According a report at USAToday.com, customers across the board do not want to see any hotel workers with pierced eyebrow, pierced tongue, tattooed arm, or nose ring. Some may argue that tattooed and pierced workers may seem more acceptable in edgy boutique hotels as compared to the big franchised hotels, but the survey results did not find any differences among a variety of lodging products. Many respondents believe people who wear visible tattoos and piercings are taking a high risk of their professional lives. If you stay in a hotel, do you mind being served by tattooed and/or pierced staff? What if you are the one who makes the hiring decision?

Where Coffee Meets Culture: My Experience with Orientation, Socialization, and Culture at Dutch Bros (by Karina Martinez)

By
When people think of Dutch Bros, they usually picture colorful drinks, loud music, free stickers, and baristas so friendly they’ll jump in the car with you.  As someone who has had the opportunity to work for Dutch Bros, I can say that the energy customers feel isn’t an act; it is the result of intentional and effective HR practices that are focused on orientation, socialization, and culture. From your very first day, you experience how these practices shape the entire Dutch experience.  Orientation, Socialization, Culture   In HR management, orientation is the introduction of the role and company to new hires. This is intended to help them feel welcomed and informed. Socialization goes beyond the initial training process; it’s how new hires grasp the organization’s values, behaviors, and traditions over time. Together, these fun...

Average/Below-Average Looking People Can Earn as Much as the Attractive Ones

By
Research has shown that attractive people can not only charm interviewers (and thus get hired easier), they are also more likely to earn more as compared to those with average or below-average looks. Accordingly to a Wall Street Journal report , attractive people can earn 3% - 4% more than a person with below-average look. If such difference adds up over a person’s lifetime, an attractive person can earn up to $230,000 more than an ugly worker; even an average-looking person can make $140,000 more. Another relevant Wall Street Journal report also suggests that workers who exercise regularly can earn 9% more than those who do not. If that is the fact (I believe it is), is it legal? Can employers do that? Linchi Kwok and Otto @SyracuseU Career Fair To my knowledge, no law or regulation under EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) considers a person’s look as a protective class. It is true that people in general have an idea of what kind of person they feel attract...
