Pros

None, there are discount perks for hotels but they are hard to come by and plan for

Cons

Micromanagement Gaslighting Lies Overworked Unrealistic expectations At Hilton you are expected to be a pawn in someone else's scheme. An original thought will lead you down a bad path. You are expected to detail every task you complete in order to send management a summary of what you do weekly. You are a ticket taker, solely there for someone else's gain. If you try to offer a perspective, alternative solution or a realistic timeline, you will be publicly ridiculed, shamed and punished. To the point that after ~50% of meetings, you will leave sobbing. You are in constant unproductive meetings (9-14/day). When suggesting to reduce or consolidate the number of meetings per topic, someone will talk to leadership about your inability to fit in with the Hilton culture and blame you for the departments failure. Employees are silenced and in constant fear of being patronized publicly. Stay away.

Pros

Great pay + benefits, company makes efforts for employee engagement. Discounted personal hotel stays are a great perk.

Intense ladder-climbing environment. Popularity is often valued over competency or dedication. Lack of internal, cohesive processes.

Cons

They ride you like sea biscuit. Scrutinize your every move. Every call is recorded, analyzed and picked apart. Your sole purpose is to sell, even though they tell you it is service focused. It absolutely has nothing to do with customer service. You yourself are a number, trying to make your numbers. You mean nothing to them, and neither does the guest. The policies they enact are specifically designed to take as much pay from the agent as possible, they do not care how much money you lose because a customer pressed the wrong button, they do not care that you make half as much as you did two years ago because they changed the incentive payout, to benefit them of course. They are thieves, charlatans, who care nothing about their employees or their customers. During the pandemic, we were told not to refund reservations even for countries that had shut down before the US. We were told to delay, delay, delay hoping they would just give up. Hilton is not Hilton anymore, it is owned by an investment company. So it is no longer a “hospitality” company and it shows,
