Hilton reviews

Since new ownership, focus is on bottom line rather than hospitality. While there are many things that make Hilton a great company to work for, these are like torches carried on from the old regime. There is a lot of training but it is sort of bizarre and hollow as if they train you with catch phrases and slogans but never actually get to the bulk of the knowledge. Trial by fire and piecemeal come to mind. Employee morale is low with all the changes-Original Sr. Management is all gone, positions being eliminated and many employees will have to move across country or give up their jobs just to relocate to DC area. Is there a connection with new CEO returning to his home town? The excuse that DC (EDT) is more conducive to a global operation is laughable when a lot of expansion is happening in Asia and India.

The management is uninvolved. Labor and health issues in kitchen and throughout hotel. Mold is a huge issue due to multiple leaks in roof. Kitchen is not cooled. Workers suffer heat stroke and constantly sweat into food being served. Cooks eat while cooking and smoke often without washing hands. Major cleanliness issues; check any health inspection. Gross.
