Good place to work.

Pros

Used to work for almost 2 years, and training with a big Marriott hotel. I liked the overall environment, fair treatment for all employees, decent pay, the fact that a lot of employees are still working there since the opening says a lot. Recognition and feedback were good. No perfect place, but a good one. Marriott manages more than 3000 hotels in the world, hence it makes your travel much cheaper. One gets very good discounted rates at all properties, like Fairfield Inn, Courtyard, Rennaissance, Marriott. Having lots of properties makes promotions easier, as people move a lot among cities / countries / hotels.

Cons

i think it depends on each hotel and each department head.

Pros

Great perks. Discounts at any Marriott hotel in the world. Also management is flexible with your schedule and willing to make exceptions when you need time off. Able to learn a lot about the hospitality industry while learning about running a company from the inside. The company is also able to give great references in order to provide advancement within the company. Also, the a fun work environment not at all cut throat or vindictive like some other hotel industries may be. Its all about the numbers though and reaching maximum capacity is essential in having a great day in the hotel.

Cons

You're either going to be working the 7 to 3 or 3 to 11 shift. Both of these can be tiring. The pay also starts at 8.25, so unless you have another source of income, or you don't have very many bills I wouldn't recommend this job. The management also doesn't want to you to tell customers what really going on within the hotel if their room has been overbooked. So learn how to tell a white lie. 30 hours is considered full time so that also limits the amount of money that is to be made while working here.
