Pros

Staff discounts on all company hotels under Hilton Brand (depending on availability). Example: Curio Hilton in Ibiza is usually £500 per night you can get it done £35. Can be lots of job opportunities if you’re looking to climb up the ladder. Can transfer move abroad to work as it’s a multinational brand. Meet lots of people from different backgrounds and nationalities. Management will teach you things, if you ask, to help you get comfortable and make transitioning to a higher position easier. Staff in all departments are lovely, more like a family away from home than colleagues.

Cons

Sometimes hotel will overspend on hours meaning you’ll get less hours than you’re contracted a month. Apparently only allowed to have 1 weekend off a month but you’ll be lucky if you get that. Can work up to 8/9 days in a row without a day off (not always, usually if lots of people are on holiday) Unsocialable hours (( Pros definitely outweigh the cons ))

Pros

Different services and softwares provided by Hilton are convenient to have access to.

Cons

The new PMS system, PEP, is awful. They got rid of F&B Distribution for night audit which means a lot less work for night auditors and way more work for accountants. PEP also doesn’t have the same functionalities as OnQ, the previous PMS. I have not heard any good thing about PEP after all these years. The team member travel discounts aren’t good anymore. They used to be flat rates across three tiers of hotels, but now they are extremely variable and can run very high. On top of that, hotels and resorts still charge team members for parking and service fees, so you still can’t afford to travel on the discount. That is, if you even find the team member rate available. Chances are, you’ll be working for a franchisee, not Hilton itself. They may be one of the world’s best companies to work for, but you probably won’t actually be working for them. California taxes and district fees felt mishandled by corporate.
