Pros

Flexible scheduling. It was possible to work at different positions within the company, but obviously they would limit you to under 40 hours a week to avoid paying overtime. HR was very nice and respectable, but acted only as therapists and never really did anything worthwhile.

Cons

Management had no idea what was going on; from the GM to assistant managers, they were running around like chickens with their heads cut off daily. They couldn't handle the smallest issues that arose, especially at big events. When corporate came to visit once a month or so, they made no changes and gave no advice. In fact, I didn't see corporate do a single thing other than walk around the property and nod their heads.

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.
