Pros

- Looks good on your CV

Cons

- Lazy and imcompetent managers (up to head of department level). - HR promotes suck ups who have ticked boxes rather than experienced and capable staff. - Long shifts, poor work/life balance - Low pay and tips that dont find their way to your payslip. - Management do not care about their staff, only the numbers and are very lazy. - Management cant seem to write a rota more than one day in advance (is available on Thursday, starts the next day) which makes planning the rest of your life next to impossible.

Pros

Different services and softwares provided by Hilton are convenient to have access to.

Cons

The new PMS system, PEP, is awful. They got rid of F&B Distribution for night audit which means a lot less work for night auditors and way more work for accountants. PEP also doesn’t have the same functionalities as OnQ, the previous PMS. I have not heard any good thing about PEP after all these years. The team member travel discounts aren’t good anymore. They used to be flat rates across three tiers of hotels, but now they are extremely variable and can run very high. On top of that, hotels and resorts still charge team members for parking and service fees, so you still can’t afford to travel on the discount. That is, if you even find the team member rate available. Chances are, you’ll be working for a franchisee, not Hilton itself. They may be one of the world’s best companies to work for, but you probably won’t actually be working for them. California taxes and district fees felt mishandled by corporate.
