Pros

I have worked with some incredibly smart people. They want you to learn and grow and stretch yourself. Most people are genuine, caring and want to help you succeed. I can work from home on occasion which is nice. They are always celebrating something and do recognize Team Members. The benefits are on par with what other companies offer. GoHilton is a great perk. I've been able to network and meet a variety of people and develop nice relationships. The culture of the company is very good.

Cons

It is not what you know but who you know and those with connections move ahead. Those without are left behind. They ask you to take on stretch assignments but everyone is already running so lean. The workload is brutal. They will not add resources but will ask you to do more with less. Work/life balance is nice in theory but not in reality. I've run across a number of people who should have never been promoted and are in way over their heads. A lot of young managers/directors should not be leading teams and managing people because they are not good leaders. There are so many inefficient processes. Pay is way below other industries.

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.
