HQ Is Changing

Pros

Great culture with purpose beyond just profit. CEO has managed to add innovation focus without losing the warmth of the culture. People management is big focus. Hotel discounts are awesome.

Cons

Leadership has become over-fixated on Millennials, leaving the Gen X workforce (half of HQ) feeling pushed aside. Yes, we need to look to the future but also need to motivate the associates we have today and serve the guests we have today.

Pros

Wonderful company events for corporate employees (such as cultural heritage day, birthday celebration for Mr. Marriott, etc.). Very polite corporate culture. Corporate facilities were nice, including a good cafeteria. Best structure of any company I've worked for -- each person had very specific roles on the team, meaning there was little confusion about who did what. Lots of internal opportunities for movement. Bethesda location was great and you can easily live on the metro line and go into DC regularly if desired. Overall, I would take the below average pay to work here again because the pros of working for such an established company are great.

Cons

Company pays less than most people prefer. This is only a problem if you want a nice place in Bethesda, but many surrounding cities are cheaper. Some corporate business units can be workaholic. 60 hours a week is the norm on some teams. Some teams do allow working from home, flex time (come early, leave early), and that sort of thing.

Pros

The best thing about this company is that if you're willing to be patient and put in your time and have ambition, you WILL be able to make a career with consistent promotions. The work is busy, as with many positions in the hospitality industry, but it is fast and most days fly by.

Cons

With this position, the hours can be pretty terrible and long. You are paid hourly, and are considered an entry level manager without any previous experience. You will no doubt be working a majority of the holidays (christmas, july 4th, new years eve) and have to work many Friday and Saturday night shifts which are the most difficult in terms of customer base. Make sure to befriend your bosses boss, as he/she will be the one to propel you to another position after your program is over.
