Working Conditions

This position may work dayshift, afternoon, or evening shift any day of the week or weekend with long days to meet periodic upturns in business demands or meet deadlines. This position is set in a fast-paced and, at times, high-pressure environment that requires continuous physical movement, the ability to lift up to 30 lbs., and the ability to manage multiple sequences and demands. There may be periods of independent work and changes in temperature from the back to the front of the house.

At Westin, we understand each guest is unique; hence, we customize care and attention to create a personalized and distinctive experience. We believe in proactively meeting guest needs and not just reactively. We inspire associates to tap into their intuition to anticipate guest’s every desire. At Westin, we offer our guests countless opportunities to maintain their well-being while restoring a sense of control so that they leave feeling better than when they arrived.
