Marriott International reviews

IT work @ MI can be a death march. Tons of off-hours work mandated by "rules" concocted by clueless management drones, even more fearful for their miserable jobs than us worker bees. Recent economic situation gave IT management the wherewithall to not just cut to the bone, but to sever appendages that will never grow back. So the workload and off-hours work and support just increases and increases. The unsaid attitude of management is: "If you don't like it...at least you have a job!!". No money for technical training, no money for conferences, no money for professional development on any level, just work, work, work days/nights/weekends. Staff layoffs have left IT staffing at a paper-thin level so be ready whenever, where ever, to drop what your doing and respond to the disaster du jour. In case you haven't guessed by now, work/life balance here totally sucks.

Management is like us and them, micro manager's that are very lazy and not team players, sometimes very young....You can at times work very long hours with out even a break or lunch....Once you are with Marriott for years, you will max out in your hourly rate and not get an annual raise. Most annual raises are 30 cents, and you wont even get that, your wage is frozen at that rate until the market shows it has went up. All pay is market driven and averaged. Poor for your dedicated employees.
