Pros

Benefits are reasonable and affordable. Travel Discount Program

Cons

Senior management is very unethical. Promotions are based on who you know; not what you know or your qualifications or any bogus career path you are suppose to be on. If you are viewed as a threat to exposing senior leadership's ongoing cover ups, something will be made up in order to fire you.

Pros

Hilton has some great travel benefits, if you can get them. I've stayed in downtown Chicago for $39 a night. The problem is each hotel holds 2 rooms max for employees and you have to book a year in advance.

Cons

The senior management isn't the strongest and seems to focus on outdoing each other instead of working together. Hilton Worldwide has competition between its brand teams when they should be working together with Marriott and Starwood as their competition. Looking at any recent ranking of hotel brands, either overall or by category, you quickly notice that the Hilton brands are near the bottom. This is the result of a lack of clear direction and a focus on the bottom line and not service.

Pros

if you enjoy travelling, the team member travel plan is awesome. cheap rooms for you and friends/family. good insurance benefits, hilton pays a good portion of the premium. the vacation time is really great. you earn a set amount each pay period and the amount increases each year you are with the company. and the amount is considerably high. makes up for not being able to have federal holidays off like most companies

Cons

management is ineffective and inept at best. there really isnt any leadership. satisfying the guest is pounded into our heads, but when we go out of our way to help a guest, its never really noticed. the only people who ever recieve recognition are the ones at the front desk or who are constantly in "upper" managements eye sight. people are continually hired that cannot speak english, which makes it very difficult for guests and coworkers to communicate needs/questions to one another. if you want to stay at a hotel and get away with destroying a room or damaging tvs, toilets,walls etc without having to pay a dime, then this is the place to stay. guests are not held responsible for destroying items, and then they can complain that something was wrong in their room (items they destroyed) and get discounted rates blaming housekeeping and maintenance for their problem.
