Pros

They're a big, international company so opportunities for advancement abound, & the benefits are very good. If you're passive aggressive, you'll fit right in.

Cons

Chaos reigns @ HQ. Due to an overabundance of duplicative responsibilities, decision making suffers, and projects constantly scramble at the last minute to accommodate a shift in the slightest breeze. Business serves IT, rather than a partnership. IT motto is, "If a person can do it, why have a computer". Ancient systems require manual data entry of identical information when automation would reduce risk, time and effort. But IT doesn't want to pay to automate because it costs the hotel owners money to pay someone to do the data entry, rather than Marriott to write a little bit of code. It's a shell game - your fees are lower, but you're paying employees to do stuff a computer can do. Paternalistic culture means you can't say no to Daddy.

Pros

Department is great! Hours are flexible with respect to workload. Career growth at the company is outstanding as long as you show dedication and commitment to the role.

Cons

"Full time" hourly employees face cuts during off seasons which makes the job posting information about full time hours unclear and is only addressed after the hiring process concludes during orientation and is not highlighted and often quickly discussed to stream light on the perks that do not calculate the negative impact on the factors left out after the fact.
