I worked at Hyatt full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Great employee culture and engagement programs. Ability to network nationwide and gather much knowledge and guidance. Travel possibilities for work efforts as well as benefits for personal travel.... Fully an "all hands on deck" environment when any one department needs support.
Cons
Hotel operations as well as security operations are 24x7. Its a delicate balance to accommodate hotel and client needs and still respect personal/family time for staff and self.
Advice to Management
Listen. Learn. Always be ready to be "a helper" at new properties. Networking is important, but the knowledge gained from working in different cities, different properties, and different labor... conditions is invaluable.
I have been working at Marriott International full-time
Pros
Good work life balance overall
Cons
Base salary is on the lower side, but they make it up in bonus and stock
