"What I did like was the culture they fostered there. The people were phenomenal. From top to bottom, it was an exciting place to work. They treat their employees well. This employment was pre-recession so expect cost-cutting to have trimmed the fat on keeping employees happy as much like any other employer, Starwood had to let go a hall of fame cast of players!"
