Director of Operations Reviews
What is it like working as a Director of Operations?
November 2015
Human resources.
Director of Operations:
Stress level is high because of the involvement in HR issues almost daily while we do not have a dedicated employee in this position being a small family owned start up.
October 2015
Must have great communication skills, multi-task, high stres.
Director of Operations:
Develop key relationships with direct reports, trust who you can delegate work to and then delegate. Prioritize daily what needs your attention that day. Confront situations head on to prevent things from getting out of hand. Be pro-active so change is easier on your team.
October 2015
Work hard, play hard.
Director of Operations:
Ownership utilizes the DoO to run the company - a lot on one set of shoulders with Ownership still active (highly) in day to day operations. Company strives for and thrives upon efficiency and simplication - everything is broken down to a job/task level and implementation is time measured and turned into a metric.

Hospitality Management - Diverse and Exciting.
Director of Operations:
Being a Director of Operations in the hospitality industry means that everyday will bring a different set of tasks and challenges. This will be both a benefit, in that the job is challenging and exciting on an on-going basis, and a drawback, as it is difficult to plan and predict what each day will bring. This type of environment will be stressful at times, and will require a calm and collected approach, someone who can look a the big picture and encourage creative thinking from their team. You will have the opportunity to mentor and work with a diverse team over a variety of disciplines, and this is very rewarding.
