Pros

Excellent insurance benefits. Free meals and uniforms. Paid time offs. You get paid attending trainings and treated like hotel guests with banquet meals. FEW genuine Managers and associates, mostly those who's been with the company all their lives.

Cons

Not being given the right tools during training. You basically have to learn from your own mistakes. Training new supervisor hiree by a front desk agent. Territorial Associates. Training mostly done by their fellow Front Desk agent who refuse to share their knowlege. A lot of negative conversations behind ones back by Supervisors and Managers. Front desk associates leaving their posts whenever they want to but passing their probationary status and being paid the same amount as their dedicated associates. Career growth seems to be favorable for Whites and Blacks. Silent racial discrimination is felt regardless of their fair treatment policy.

Pros

Cafeteria offers good food for a low price. Marriott discounts at other hotels

Cons

The favoritism of employees is backed by corporate. If someone has been working here longer than you, they get to pick and choose what shifts they want. If there is an open shift they also first get to choose whether they want it or not. Lastly if there are cuts, they get to choose if they want to stay or leave before others. The favoritism doesnt stop there. The managers also make them do less sidework, and give them good sections where as new employees are the bottom of the barrel in all aspects. Honestly horrible experience. They dont care about your well being either. Im scheduled opening and closing shifts consecutively which means I get under 4 hours of sleep between shifts. Sleep deprivation is not a joke; do not recommend.
