Pros

Mostly great people Travel benefits Lots of vacation time

Cons

-The "culture" is outwardly great and fun, but inwardly phony, phony, phony....the longer you stay there, the harder it is to swallow. - It was sickening to me how much the company sucks up to the interns and fetes them like celebrities. They are treated far better than the rest of the employees are. Ugh. And they're so young and naive, they just eat it all up and walk around with starry eyes. So just beware if you intern there, that it will not always be like that. It's an act. You'll really miss that VIP treatment once you become a real employee.

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.
