Great benefits and engaging team but high pressure politics
Pros
Generous company sponsored benefits and perks like the hotel room discount. Fun industry environment working in resorts and interacting with vacationing families. Highly engaged team environment.
Cons
Highly political environment. Most decisions at a senior management level are influenced by who you know, who you like— and don’t. High perception of favoritism all across the company. Most people stay and come back for the generous company sponsored benefits and perks like the hotel room discount (highly popular and abused by employees). The overall employee loyalty is highly based on the “Marriott” brand though the affiliation is solely based on a franchise agreement— not as the parent company as it used to be years before MVW was spun off from Marriott International in 2011. High pressure, fast paced environment, HR is overloaded with responsibilities doing the job of 2 or 3 people with no room for errors allowed; if you drop the ball somewhere, your performance is “questionable” and everyone in the HR chain gets involved or copied on no matter how small the issue is.
