Pros

The culture at Marriott is phenomenal. Their #1 priority is taking care of their people, and they mean what they say. Smart, hard working, caring people.

Cons

Such a massive company, it's hard to figure our who does what and it's difficult to "turn the ship around" and accomplish big things quickly.

Pros

By far the largest Hospitality company in the world. The company is slow and steady. Yet I don't feel like it is winning the race. After five years it was time to stop the boring, comfortable, safe, slow and very dull life and move on. Best way I can compare it is to the US Government. It took months for any progress! Antiquated Systems and so much red tape and approval process in order to get anything done. Yet with every passing quarter or month the company continues to get bigger. You have no voice, yet you have your job that pays well and can support your family. All the employees use the analogy "I too drank the cool aide" After the aquisition of Starwood the company now hows 30 brands of hotels consisting of more than 5 thousand hotels all across the globe! I think they are more than 50% larger than the next closest competitor such as IHG, Hilton, Hyatt etc. Every week there were mass company emails welcoming i another VP over this department which you may have never heard of. A lot of speakers would come in and talk and yet you were not quite sure why they were there or what the point of the meeting was. So to the point: Pros: Comfortable and Safe and you can hide in the shadows. Great work Life Balance

Cons

You can read my description in the pros. Cons: Brutally slow for change, difficult to make an impact, not very colorful or exciting. Cannot talk to anyone if have an issue. Pointed to an outsourced support company to open another ticket. Very difficult to make an impact or feel valued.
