Pros

Hyatt hotels offer great travel benefits for employees. After one year of employment you are given 10 "comp nights" each year to use at just about and domestic Hyatt hotel pending availability.

Cons

I worked in a management position and worked an average of 70 hrs/week. There was a large emphasis on employee relations and satisfaction to a point where they were loaded with cash incentives to give great customer satisfaction. After three years of working in a few different hotels, my hours worked were only increasing and my quality of life decreasing. I then converted my annual salary into what I was making per average hour worked and found that I was making less than my lowest level employee and also well below CA minimum wage. That was the end.

Pros

The pay can be good. And some of the people that work there are great people whom I will miss. The diversity in backgrounds is impressive.

Cons

Management has its hands tied because upper management is all about the dollars at the end of the day. It is an environment that kills creativity, does not promote individualism even though they claim to. My department was understaffed for all of 2011, yet we were still blamed for every single little thing that could have been avoided or fixed if we had just hired a couple of more people. The program they have to train managers who are still young and looking for a career in the hotel business is borderline incompetent, taking young people with no experience and putting them in a frantic high paced work environment. They have to manage people that have much more experience. The problem with this is that most of these fake managers don't have a clue as to what to do, or how to be efficient, so they just get frustrated and start barking orders. I regret ever working here. Not worth it. Don't bother.
