Current Employee – been working at Marriott full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Culture, comparable/competitive pay in the market, overall compensation (including bonuses, discounts, benefits, etc). If you're willing to move, you have a wealth of opportunities to learn new things. Job security in the global market.

Cons – In order to advance professionally, you have to be willing to move around. The shift work can be daunting (it is a 24x7 operation, afterall). HR issues aren't always handled quickly. Lots of franchise (non-Marriott) companies that manage the hotels aren't always up to par.

Advice to Senior Management – More timely communication.
More transparency.
