Pros

They do offer perks (like gift cards that are taxed as bonus wages) and free room nights per year (however you are not really given any time off to use them, and they are rarely available).

Cons

Everything about this place is wrong. Management makes horrible policy decisions which causes a mass exodus - then they punish everyone left by making them work mandatory overtime and making even worse policy decisions. The turnover rate is ridiculous even for a call center. They spend little to no time actually supporting the overworked and over stressed phone agents. More time is spent coming up with complex stat requirements so they can fire people for being a fraction of a percentage off in call time or conversion. What's that you say? Our guests have a 20 minute hold time today? I can't do anything about that right now, I'm trying to fire this guy because he only converted 40% of his calls into reservations last call cycle! The nerve of this guy!

We are sorry that you did not have a good experience with us. At Hyatt it is our number one priority to take care of our employees and our customers. The policies and procedures that we have in place ensure we are fair and consistent and uphold the values and expectations of all we interact with. During times of extraordinarily high call volume, it is necessary to require overtime so that we may properly service our Hyatt guests. We appreciate our associates’ commitment to guest service as we understand that working overtime may make personal schedules difficult. While these times may be challenging, we continue to see tremendous growth within our company which will provide more positive opportunities for our associates in the future. Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. If you would like to further discuss your concerns, we welcome you to contact us directly.”

Pros

Work culture is good. People complain but I think people complain at every company about anything. It's really more of a mind set. While the office is never perfect, it's still a open and friendly environment you enjoying spending time in. Benefits are good and people tend to stay with Hyatt because they generally take good care of their employees. Unfortunately I'm only talking about the office levels and upward. I can't say I've seen the housekeepers, bellmen, or food runners feel the same way.

Cons

As in any service industry, you cannot control it all. You can only do your job and hope that others do theirs.

Pros

12 free comp rooms a year (if available) Good PTO, and great co-workers!

Cons

Mandatory over time (might be a positive to some) never having the opportunity to have full weekends off. Poor equipment, and lots and lots of tech issues! If you are down due to their system you are paid half your wage and sometimes you might be down for days as they try to figure out what the problem is. Management...This is the main reason I left, they moved teams around I drew the short stick. Many people from my team have left, and most not speak up, but every one of the left because of the management. ONE Team managers could care less, the only time I ever spoke with either manager was when I had a problem, the never coached me, or even took the time to know who I was. One of the managers (the guy who's name starts with a J) was horrible to you if you had a tech issue, he always made us feel like we were making it up. The leads were ok, the one I had was dry and boring and basically told me what I needed to do to keep from getting let go. Anyone who's been in management knows that some positive feedback is always appreciated by their employees.
