Pros

The company believes in promoting from within when possible. This allows you to start as an hourly associate and promote into management and from there into senior management. The Marriott believes in consant training of it's work force to ensure their associates are kept up to date with the latest in hospitality. There is still a sense of family in most hotels and associates and managers tend to genuinely care about each other. There has definitely been some improvement over the past 5 years in the concept of balancing work and family life. Some are allowed to telecommute or work remotely, however this could be embraced by more of their hotels.

Cons

The company does not pay as competitively and tends to pay on the lower end of the scale. This can make it difficult for those that are single parents, or working in high cost of living areas. The company also seems to be losing focus on the core values that built the company into what it is today. Mr. Marriott Sr. believed that you take the best care of your associates and they in turn will take the best care of your guests. The guests will return because of the hospitality and service they received which will provide the revenues needed for the stockholders and investors. The company is now at the point where the bottom line is really all that matters, at the expense of their associates and customers. It's a shame that this company seems to be losing sight of why we are in the hospitality business.

Pros

Benefits are great at marriott. Work is good too. There is no paid lunch break. The benifits are marriott are great though. I have full medical insurance. I have full dental insurance. I have full vision insurance. I have full 401 k. I have life insurance. I have insurance for my kids. I am working 50 hours a week. I do alot of work all day long and believe i do more work then the pay I recieve. I want to get a promotion soon. If i get a promotion soon i might enjoy working at marriott more. The job is ok.

Cons

I think some of the downsides of working at marriot is that they expect alot of work out each employee for little compensation. I worked at other jobs that did not require as much work and paid more money. The benifits at marriott make up for some of the lower pay but i still do not think they compensate one hunderd percent. I have a 15 minutes drive to work. I like working during the day because it is nice. If you are interested in working at marriott then you might want to look into it. The jobs there are great.
