Pros

Opportunity to move around HQ if you are proactive; I moved from Finance to Operations. HQ facility is great - has daycare, nice cafeteria, gym, post office, pilates. Management and senior leaders have been in place a long time.

Cons

Because many of the senior leadership team has been at Marriott for 20+ years, they may discount your pre-Marriott work. Difficult to get into Operations if you have not worked in a hotel before. They do not seem to value MBA's, they value your work while at Marriott.

Pros

Cafeteria offers good food for a low price. Marriott discounts at other hotels

Cons

The favoritism of employees is backed by corporate. If someone has been working here longer than you, they get to pick and choose what shifts they want. If there is an open shift they also first get to choose whether they want it or not. Lastly if there are cuts, they get to choose if they want to stay or leave before others. The favoritism doesnt stop there. The managers also make them do less sidework, and give them good sections where as new employees are the bottom of the barrel in all aspects. Honestly horrible experience. They dont care about your well being either. Im scheduled opening and closing shifts consecutively which means I get under 4 hours of sleep between shifts. Sleep deprivation is not a joke; do not recommend.
