Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) May 2, 2007 -- There's a lucrative career ladder in the hospitality industry, often known only for its entry level jobs, according to WageWatch, Inc., (http://www.wagewatch.com), the leading Web-based compensation and benefits survey company. The American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (http://www.ahla.com) has published a flyer based on information gathered by WageWatch as part of its annual Compensation and Benefits Survey for the hospitality industry. The information in the career ladder flyer is used to encourage high school and college students to consider the hospitality industry as a career.
According to the career ladder, the median salary compensation for management positions in the industry includes:
General Manager - $100,000
Sales & Marketing Director - $80,400
Food & Beverage Director - $73,000
Controller - $73,800
Senior Sales Manager- $56,000

Executive Chef - $65,300
Chief Engineer - $61,000

"Remember, the median is what the person in the middle is paid," says Margaret Dyekman, President and COO of WageWatch. "Half the people in each position earn even more than the pay listed in the flyer. In addition to base salary, many jobs have a commission, shared gratuity, or bonus plan that pays up to 40% of salary as incentive compensation. Many of our hotel clients tell us that they started in jobs such as a Front Desk Agent, Reservations Associate, or Cook I and worked their way up in a matter of a few years. Hospitality is an industry where pay for performance and career opportunities are especially strong."
