Great company overall and promoted from within
Pros
Marriott benefits, they promote from within, ability to innovate, get creative, suggest ideas. growing company and lots of opportunity to grow your career. There is a great atmosphere of fun but get it done at the same time. Lots of opportunity to gain feedback through performance review process, and 90 day reviews given. weekly meetings with dept heads allows more feedback and pulse checks to happen. annual increases issued. bonus for many salary positions. "job coach" program is very good and shows investment in a new hire during their first week. Kessler invests in its grand performers and there is also a "kessler cares program" which helps its ownemployees when needed and also the local community. When there are poor performers, they are willing to push them out if it is best for the whole. their employee engagement survey results as a company (done yearly), put them at the top of the hospitality industry.
Cons
every company has negatives and to think that there aren't any when interviewing is naive. Take the negative feedback on this site for what it is...mainly from ex-employees. Your ideas are heard, but don't be hurt if corporate or your managers don't agree with your opinion. That isn't always going to be the case. Corporate does have the family run feel but they do a great job as they are very skilled and knowledgeable about what they do. as they have grown they are also expanding their corporate office with hospitality professionals. this is good!
