Pros

Good location, major hospitality brand

Cons

I felt like there was little room for internal advancement. Managers don't develop their current employees and often decide to hire externally which is very demoralizing. Most of my department left after being told they were not qualified enough despite meeting all the requirements. Managers and above are in cliques. On the off chance an internal hire is selected for a role, this has already been decided among the "clique" before the job listing is posted. How can there be a healthy culture if directors are badmouthing the very people they work with? There is a nonexistent work-life balance. We were expected to work July 4th, Memorial Day, and Labor day. WHY? Raises here are abyssal and do not keep up with yearly inflation. I hope that eventually they catch on a realize people keep declining offers because their offers are weak. Brace yourself for 2.5% raises on a "good" year. Hyatt does NOT care for people so they can be their best, despite that being the motto. I would possibly recommend other areas of Hyatt, but stay away from Accounting/finance.

Pros

Fair pay, decent PTO, can be a very flexible work environment if you have a caring leader. Hospitality is a fun industry that tends to attract interesting people--ability to travel and work with diverse cultures is great.

Cons

Constant reorganization/restructuring post-COVID, and growth that outpaced scalable infrastructure. Some long-time employees very set in their ways, can be hard to make meaningful impacts on ways of working even when the org has changed on paper.
