Pros
Marriott was an awesome place to begin my career. I started out as night auditor and worked my way up to sales manager in a few short years. My General Manager was an awesome mentor and leader. I still contact him to this day for advice. He afforded me all the training I needed and then some. He had a great way of motivating his employees and really promoting teamwork. Marriott really promotes customer service and focuses on the guest and their needs. The other great thing about Marriott is that they employee is empowered to do whatever it takes to please the guests.
Cons
There aren't very many things I can think of that are downsides of Marriott. If I had to say one thing it might be that they were too lenient on their employees. Some of the housekeepers there got away with a lot of things and really got a lot of time of work. Now don't get me wrong, they did an excellent job, however they were very spoiled. We also had a high turnover rate, but I think that is the standard in the hospitality industry. The only other thing would be renovations to the property I worked at; we desperately needed some!
