Pros

Great employee discount. The discount we received on hotels is by far the best compared to working with other hotel chains. There were also some great people working there, and we had a lot of fun in between taking calls. Quite a few of the supervisors were also very down to earth, and understood that sometimes 'life happens' and you have to deal with it. When management did something to show their appreciation to the employees, it was usually very good. They provided meals during holidays, or offered pizza when they wanted us to work through lunch or take a lunch later.

Cons

In my position, if you were a minute late, corrective action had to be issued. If you were stuck in traffic, were in an automobile accident, sick, etc, and it caused you to be late or call in, corrective action had to be issued. Additionally, in HSC (Hilton Support Center, the name of the help desk for the hotels), we did more hand holding to assist hotel employees than we did actual IT support. Hotels employees would call because they didn't know how to balance a report, check in a guest, or print an invoice. 80% of the calls we took were procedural.

Pros

Employee reservations at OWNED and MANAGED properties are free, plus reduced rates at many other properties. It's always nice when representatives from specific locations come and visit the center, as they often sponsor contests and provide lunch or some sort of giveaway. However fun that is, however, you don't get extra time off the phones for it, and you have to zip past on your fifteen minute break or thirty minute lunch, grab pamphlets and freebies and pretend to hear the hotel's selling points before returning to your desk to take more calls. Also, free stays at specific properties would be better IF you could get the time off to actually take the vacation.

Cons

I found the HR department went to great lengths to create a hostile work environment requiring documentation for FMLA chronic care up to four times per year (which irritated my doctors). The manager of the call center would rather be roasting a whole pig (true story-he brought it in for staff) than actually doing his job. They are known through out Tampa for their very low start pay and nickel and diming their employees to death. They often break "promises" creating a very low morale. About the only thing positive about the call center is the paint on the walls (bright yellows, reds and blues).

Pros

If someone does not have a higher education, with a lot of hard work, anyone is able to become management. However, while you are working your way up, the company will take advantage of you.

Cons

Low pay for management team compared to local competition. Upper Management does not promote "team" spirit. There is a lack of making employees feel as the are important to the company. Even the HR Director has made the comment that if an employee does not like policy, then they can work somewhere else. The work/life balance is nonexistant. Upper management rather run the current employees into the ground before hiring additional staff.
