Pros

Discounted hotel rooms at team member rates.

Cons

I’ve been with the company 5 1/2 years now. Everything is going down hill. From the systems we use that are barely even functional most of the time to the small Window of opportunities for advancement to the lack of ability to earn the “bonus” which was promised to be a certain amount upon being hired. The job duties were recently changed without anyone’s knowledge which took away reservation agents ability to earn incentives. We used to take reservation calls ONLY now we take whatever call is being sent our way yet we are still held accountable for SALES METRICS, very very unfair. Very LOW hourly pay compared to other comparable hotels. Yearly raises are in the very low pennies. They change company policies without giving proper notices you have to find out through a co worker or in chat if you’re a work at home agent. I would not recommend this to a friend or a family member.

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.
