Pros

The oppurtunity to meet lots of different and interesting people, employee travel discounts, worldwide company. Good leadership in management, professional operations.

Cons

Shifting work schedule makes routines very difficult to achieve, and 24/7/365 nature of the industry leads to extreme difficulty in getting time off. Very low pay in relationship to responsibilities, professionalism, aptitude, and amount of knowledge expected of many workers. Nature of industry provides for an overly stuffy and formal environment.

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.
