Marriott - An excellent employer to work for!

Pros

Marriott strives to treat its employees well. One of the core philosophies of Marriott is, "If you treat your employees well, they will treat your customers well, and your customers will come back to you." Marriott offers professional development courses to help you grow and advance professionally. The benefits are nice, and I've stayed at many nice hotels on a highly discounted rate.

Cons

Sometimes the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. To put it another way, Marriott has so many different departments, such as Reservations, Customer Care, and Guest Services, that it is difficult to know what is going on.

Pros

I have worked for Marriott for almost 10 years. I have worked for 5 hotels from 300 rooms to over 1000. The teams I have worked with have been amazing-teamwork, helpful, hands on. I know have children and my hotel is flexible so I can be an awesome mom and sales manager.

Cons

Lots of hours in the beginnning. The company is large so information is sometimes slow and we can't change all that quickly.

While every company, including Marriott, has it's problems, Marriott is truly the best company to work for!

Pros

Marriott is all about the people - recognition for a job well done is core to the Marriott philosophy. People respect each other, and upper management respects the associates. Marriott truly respects work life balance, and the company as a whole tries to enable associates to work a family friendly schedule. Telecommuting is becoming the fastest trend in the IT field, making my current position fantastic for my family. If you work hard, you will be rewarded with not only a promotion, but merit increases. And, the room rate discount is fantastic!

Cons

People don't work at Marriott for the money. People work at Marriott for the management style and the other people. Anyone could easily go to another hotel company and make more money. The benefits are good, but they could be better, specifically the health insurance.
