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.

Pros

I am proud of the name and I enjoy travel opportunities. Hilton is in the leading edge of hospitality technology. If your primary goal of your job is to learn new technologies you would do well here.

Cons

It is still a good old boy corporation with only a few (well publicized) exceptions. Those who can spin and say yes without any resistance are recognized as successful and those who point out the risks and try to mitigate them are seen as non-team players. Expectation management is impossible and if you want life balance, you will not find it in Hilton’s IT department.
