Pros

The JOB itself was awesome and staff was friendly and worked together great as a team.

Cons

Very Poorly Managed. Very Immature, failed to manage the hotel by the HILTON Standards as we were trained. New and vacant positions were not posted accordingly, "Favorites" were selected for promotions despite their lack of qualifications. It's pretty bad when you have an AGM that doesn't know her way around a computer, let alone Word / Excel. The overall morale at the hotel is very negative. Staff is unhappy and they don't know who to go to... as upper management failed to keep confidential conversations associates brought to him as concerns directly back to the GM. GM doesn't follow protocol or hotel standards set by Hilton. Staff is yelled at and talked down to in front of guest. Regular guest and long term guest have NO Idea who the GM is... other then perhaps a name on the board. No room for advancement, minimal pay, very negative environment.

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.
