Pros

The guests are generally friendly and regulars. The non-management staff is cool. Hilton is a great company and the hotel itself is nice.

Cons

Heavily micromanageed, if they don't like you they force you to quit or write you upenough to fire you, the pay is low and you will never receive a raise, they are cheap so staffing will stay low, I could go on...

Pros

Hands-on ownership and executive team: Upper management is very engaged and visible, which makes it easy to feel connected to the company’s direction and values. Strong community involvement: There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer and participate in community-focused initiatives, which adds a meaningful dimension to the workplace experience. Supportive sales team: The sales team is truly wonderful, collaborative, upbeat, and always willing to help. Working alongside them is one of the highlights.

Cons

No 401(k) contribution: While a plan is offered, the lack of employer contribution is a significant downside compared to industry standards. Minimal annual raises: Yearly increases are typically just a little over 2%, which doesn’t reflect performance or growing responsibilities. Meeting overload: There are too many meetings and reports, which often feel repetitive and take time away from core responsibilities. Sales vs. Operations divide: The experience differs dramatically depending on the department. Sales and Operations function almost like separate companies, with noticeable differences in support, communication, and treatment. Low pay for the workload: Compensation does not match the level of responsibility or expectations placed on employees, especially in operations.
