Pros

Understanding management Family Atmosphere Sales Staff was Really Nice (at the time) Management trusts you to make the right decision for the guests You wear a lot of hats so you learn a lot about hospitality Meet guests from all over the world and in fields of every kind Management always had my back

Cons

Usually busy (not a con) but at night you are on your own unless it’s an EXTREME emergency Pay is bad and no benefits unless you opt into a 3rd party - but this could be said anywhere in hospitality Personal development for employees is nonexistent aside from Marriott training videos Expect to work whenever they need you and you will have to do things outside your job description (may not always be a bad thing but just extra work) As in any customer service job you are a punching bag for the hotel - high turn over Not a lot of options to move up

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.
