Pros

Honestly... there are no pros that I can think of. It's nice being able to stay at Marriott hotels for cheap... but the availability is extremely limited as well as the number of quality property accessible to Marriott employees on vacation. The company name carries a lot of weight but the majority of employees I worked with were nothing more than amateurs. All of the talent was on the way out the door when I arrived. Literally, on my first day on the job out of orientation, two of my superiors told that I should start looking for a new place to work. The people who told me this were the only people I ever grew to respect at the company and they quit or transferred long before I had the chance to do so.

Cons

Compensation far below industry standard. Terrible work/life balance. Company culture designed to brainwash employees. General lack of intelligence in upper level management. Severe retardation in middle level management. Crumbling brand image.

Pros

Hotel Benefits would convenient at times

Cons

Horrible to work at the Ritz Carlton Boston. I was terminated because someone decided to report me they I was nodding off briefly in the office. They first suspended me with a notice explaining my suspension and then they terminated me with a different notice with the summary of that notice not matching up with the suspension notice. Human Resources lied to me and told me that the reason they found out I nodded off was because they were reviewing footage for something and just happened to come across me on camera which does not add up to the two statements I received. Cafeteria food was terrible. You would think a five star hotel would cook better food. Sometimes the food was burnt and did not taste good at all!!!
