Great for starting out your career, but growth is difficult. Overall company culture is great, but properties vary. - Event Manager Hilton Employee Review

Pros

Decent benefits, bonuses awarded by trimester, employee travel benefits. Work life balance really depends on your position. Some people in my department seemed to skirt by doing the bare minimum, while others worked well over their 40 hours per week.

Cons

Office politics were always a factor. Growth is stagnant - emphasis was placed on bringing in new people rather than rewarding those who had earned it Department head was a dictator and definitely played favorites. PTO increases with your length of service, it takes a while before you get a decent amount.

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.
