Pros

Good benefits, job security, I feel valued and it's a good work culture. Embraces diversity which I think is important considering the current state of affairs in the US right now. They moved Assistant Managers to hourly so we can earn overtime but we didn't see a decrease in pay from what we were making. I feel I'm making more, as long as I continue working hard. I have opportunities to grow and gain experience in different areas of the hotel to feel more well-rounded. I'm certain I'm happier here than associates at competing hotels - I think more emphasis is placed on care in general.

Cons

Lately a lot of focus on cutting spending and labor which makes sense but it doesn't align well with the care culture we are supposed to provide for our guests and our associates. You need to be fully staffed and compensate fairly to provide excellent service and I feel like cutting heavily and having too aggressive a budget doesn't leave hourly associates feeling secure or us managers feeling supported - more stretched thin. But I imagine it feels like this in hotels everywhere right now.

Pros

Hyatt is a fantastic brand with beautiful hotels. Twelve complimentary nights a year. Medical, dental, 401k. Love the Hyatt guests and travel/hospitality is a fun industry. Customer contact center has the potential to be great, even though falling far short.

Cons

Call center leadership is very poor and appears nonexistent while you toil away on the phones. Extremely low wages and a meager incentive plan that is very difficult to achieve. Part of their incentive program is based on a little token system where you earn tokens. You can't just cash in the tokens, no... You have to take the tokens and play the most outdated DOS video type games (worse than 80s Donkey Kong) on your own time of course. From there you can earn something with the points from the games, not cash though. Not even sure what they earn. Give people really money incentive, not games and "tokens" and time wasters. No one has time for this. The set up makes you feel like you're an 18 year old flunky. You will be spoken to like a child being scolded and you are never meeting standards. They will never celebrate your successes (oh, except with random "tokens" I guess). Expect them to "pick on" your weak areas on the few occasions someone will actually "coach" you. And they won't offer any solutions on their end, they expect you to fix it while you're taking back-to-back calls 8-10 hours a day. Interaction with "leadership" is rare and negative. Call center leadership needs a complete overhaul, dysfunctional would be a kind description. If you have a shred of self respect, you will find it difficult to work here. No matter whom you are, your age, your experience and all the great things you can bring to Hyatt, in the end this place will beat you down and make you feel badly about yourself.

Pros

Fellow staff, the learning experience

Cons

Chaotic environment. Low pay. You wear too many hats as a front desk agent and are sometimes the ONLY employee in the entire building!! Hateful management that doesn't care. Incredibly poor treatment. Yelling, threats, and insults abundant.
