Pros

Flexible hours, which suits my academic studies. Hilton hires employees from various ethnic backgrounds. Hilton staff rate available for employees in Hilton hotels all over the world.

Cons

Low salaries, long hours of work if necessary. They treat housekeeping staff especially poorly, which resembles to modern day slavery. They do not give financial incentives to the majority of employees when hotel makes profit above target. Too much company politics, not always the people promoted who deserves.

Business Outlook

Pros

Working with engaged colleagues (all the way up to senior management), who had a real desire to delight their customers.

Cons

Slightly lower than average salary for the area; some management did not respect a work-life balance. I understand this has increased since Blackstone acquired the company.
