So far I'm impressed...

Pros

Some of the reasons I love to work for HIlton Hotels is the DISCOUNT! Let's be honest, it makes traveling much easier. Plus I think our management really has shown they are in their leadership roles for a reason. I feel I can talk to my direct mananger of even the GM at any time without any "you went over my head" issues. I do feel the company rewards fairly based on individual accomplishments and does invest in your professional and personal development. SO far, so good.

Cons

Forced PTO. When I came on board the Sales Office was closed 3x in the next 3 months. I had no time off so I didn't get paid for those vacation times. I hear a lot of "when I was at my old property".. well you're no longer there so shut up about it. Making staff changes and not explaining how it's benefiting the property.

Pros

they care about the people working for them. opportunites all over the country. Very Diverse. Lots of experienced people running the company. Internal Controls are very tight. Payroll and Wages are administered in a very fair and equitable manner. you will not ever make more as an hourly person than anyone in that position who has been their the same amount of time as you. As long as HR has something to say about it.

Cons

The owners of the hotels we run wont put enough money into the properties.
