Pros

Lots of PTO with management support to use it; flexible work environment (work from home one day per week and during winter holidays); management is approachable and usually willing to go the distance to solve problems; discounts on hotel stays and a wide variety of non-hotel related discounts (cell phone, mattresses, etc); overall positive office culture with numerous volunteer opportunities and fun events held throughout the year; decent training and development programs; perfect place for a new college graduate or those with a family and desire job stability

Cons

High level management seems to lack the ability to plan more than a few months in advance (numerous team members have desks in meeting rooms due to lack of space); last-minute initiatives with dubious goals and lack of transparency regarding their impact on the business; lack of transparency in regards to promotions; lack of opportunities to move up the ladder within the RMCC (you will either manage hotels or manage people here) or within Hilton (the Dallas office seems very removed from the rest of the company); increase in nepotism within the past two years (a curiously high number of lower and middle managers have out-of-office connections with leadership i.e. babysitters, gym buddies, friends of family, etc.); lack of incentives to improve personal performance (typical 3% yearly pay increase; no bonuses for non-management positions; salary caps for promotions)

Pros

The digital department is well above average when it comes to the importance of digital accessibility and being receptive to digital accessibility considerations in the product lifecycle. The department head is brilliant and has great leadership skills.

Cons

Unfortunately, the department has a Senior Manager that is a persistent bully and intermittently unprofessional. The behavior is all the more damaging since we're all remote; I dread out 1-on-1's as they're historically more passive-agression and mockery (overt and undermining my intelligence) than constructive, tactical, or productive. Bitter-sweet, I finally asked a colleague about their experience with this Sr. Manager, and this Manager has a reputation for being toxic (so it's not just me, at least). Three other colleagues under this manager have left because of his behavior (*including prior reports to HR with no improvement), and another is on their way out (with multi-year Hilton tenures). I am trying to find another jobas well, despite loving the work. It's not healthy, and there's no where else to go within Hilton's digital accessibility discipline to distance from this Sr. Manager.
