Pros
Marriott has many avenues within the company that one can pursue. I have encountered many dedicated & supportive people. This started as a job to get me through college and here I am 9 years later. You will work hard, long hours but in the end you are compensated. What keeps me is the flexibility I have with my schedule, and the people. Every place has its pros/cons but I strongly feel that the pros out weigh the cons at Marriott.
Cons
It is a big company, politics, communication gets lost, sometimes you feel like you are just a number. It is your job to stick it out and make something of yourself. No free rides here. Long hours, especially if you work in one of the hotels- hotels are open 24hrs a day/ 7 days a week/ 365 days a year- weekends, holidays they are all just another day.
