Pros

Overall, this is an excellent company to work for in the hospitality industry. Marriott management takes excellent care of its employees and plan several training opportunities throughout the year to engage associates and build stronger camaraderie. Marriott associates are known to stick with the company for a long time. In fact, if you are with the company for 25 years, you can stay at Marriott hotels for free for the rest of your life (great benefit!). There are many opportunities for advancement and you will find internal candidates are given priority, should they have the appropriate skills & experience, for promotional hire over external candidates. Internal resources are numerous and you can always lean on a team member or review the materials on the companies' intranet.

Cons

I experience this myself and hear this time and time again from team members - work life balance needs some serious improvement.

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.
