Pros

PTO program is nice with regularly accruing, rolling hours. A big effort to have fun on-site events for team. Ability to move to different departments, positions, or hotels anywhere.

Cons

Handling of COVID was atrocious internally. The company laid off thousands of people, expected those remaining to do quadruple the work, failed to communicate to anyone what the long term plan was for return to work, and then the CEO has the nerve to tout financial gains in 2020. Gross. Salaried management positions are grossly underpaid compared to other industries, especially for a company expecting managers to work a minimum of 50 hours per week. They will slowly milk out every last ounce of effort from anyone. They flex on work/life balance, but there is NO work life balance as long as you are cutting hourly schedules. You could give everything and you're still only a number and replaceable. Corporate is a mess. Any directives and standards are not planned well, not tested, rolled out in a wild way and the Lobby constantly has contradicting standards documents.

Pros

Great staff and lowermanagement. Last general manager was unfriendly and not very helpful.

Cons

I was supposed to get long tenure status for lifetime friends of family with my veteran status. Worked at Hilton 9+ years. Supposed to get 1 year for my veteran status (according to the handbook at that time) which would make 10 years. HR supposedly turned in application in August 2024. I even followed up and was told they were working it. It's been almost 2 years and haven't heard anything yet. Very disappointed and dissatisfied. Guess I won't be staying at Hilton Hotels.
