Pros

Stable and set schedule. Discounted hotel room rates, health benefits, 401 K, and free lunch during shifts.

Cons

It is the busiest during the weekend and there is never a manager around to relieve the stress. When we have a manager on duty, they don't know anything about how the Front Desk works. Management says the employees have to understand that the Front Desk is not their department. What is the point of an MOD if they don't even understand the basics of how each department works? Management claims that all employees are also "empowered" to do whatever they have to do resolve the issue but be aware, if you do they will get mad at you soon after. They will harass you VIA text message and be very rude without hearing you out. We are SO short staffed and have been for over 6 months, now. Every single time we have important events... Nothing is ever done right. Most careless place I have every worked at!

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.
