Pros

Hilton has a team member travel program that allows employees to stay at Hilton properties at discounted rates. Although I have never once been able to get an "Employee" room at any hotel without personally calling the hotels general manager, it is possible to get "Family" rates which, although they are not free, are discounted from the properties normal nightly rate. Depending on what projects in IT you work in, there is some opportunity to work with some of the latest Microsoft technology. If you happen to work of one of these groups there are some really great toys to play with.

Cons

Hilton's corporate offices are very bloated with middle management. Layer after layer of bureaucracy that impedes the company from making any real progress. The Blackstone Group, who now owns Hilton is about to make a massive round of cuts and in the near future this may no longer be the case. Only time will tell. Corporate as a whole, has little or no project management processes in place to allow projects to be managed effectively. In most instances projects are successful in spite of themselves. If you can stand the utter lack of organization and the mind numbing bureaucracy, Hilton will be a fine place for you to work.

Pros

Different services and softwares provided by Hilton are convenient to have access to.

Cons

The new PMS system, PEP, is awful. They got rid of F&B Distribution for night audit which means a lot less work for night auditors and way more work for accountants. PEP also doesn’t have the same functionalities as OnQ, the previous PMS. I have not heard any good thing about PEP after all these years. The team member travel discounts aren’t good anymore. They used to be flat rates across three tiers of hotels, but now they are extremely variable and can run very high. On top of that, hotels and resorts still charge team members for parking and service fees, so you still can’t afford to travel on the discount. That is, if you even find the team member rate available. Chances are, you’ll be working for a franchisee, not Hilton itself. They may be one of the world’s best companies to work for, but you probably won’t actually be working for them. California taxes and district fees felt mishandled by corporate.
