Pros

There is always something happening, and interesting technology challenges that revolve around the unique business model. Pay is high if you are not in the LA or European offices.

Cons

Bought by private equity and being run into the ground. Hilton is not a good bet right now from a career perspective. Wait until the layoffs, outsourcing and restructuring are complete sometime in 2009. The company lacks solid management and is not process driven. This can be frustrating if you come from a more structured organization with documented, repeatable business processes. The organization is not standardized or structured for efficiency.

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.
