Pros

You can advance very quickly. You will learn the business very fast. Hyatt has locations around the world. It was my experiance that after six months of being in one position I was able to interview for a new position. Once in this position I was I had the understanding that after about two years of managing a department I could then look for another promotion. These promotions would happen even faster if I was willing to relocate to another hotel. I feel that one huge pluss is the fact that after your first year you recieve a set number of free hotel stays.

Cons

when working in the food and beveragey side of the hotel you will work very long hours. it seemed like ten hours a day was expected and if I went home before that the upper management tryied to make me feel guilty for leaving. We seemed to be understaffed all the time and would have staff from other areas of the hotel come to help our where it was busy. When we did this we were not able to train the staff that was helping, propperly. As with any hospitality job, you work weekend and all holidays because that is when you are busy.

Pros

The comp night offerings were great and compensation was fair. If you meet quota you get a bonus

Cons

This likely varies between properties depending on hotel management. Everyone in the events and sales departments are overworked, so employee turnover is high, which just compounds the issue. Management has difficulty accepting feedback from employees and often promotes the yes-men. No PTO in the first year leads to quick burnout
