Pros

Big savings on drive time, gas expense, work clothes and food cost. Many agents can build their own schedule within their core hours, including scheduling your own vacation days if hours are available. You can do lots of travel at very nice discounts at Hilton Brand properties. Most Development Coaches do a great job helping you to meet performance goals set on a monthly basis. Opportunity to make a lot of incentive money if you give the sales pitch for Hilton Grand Vacations, at the end of each call session.

Cons

With an expectation to also provide service to the guest, the computer system has a flaw that takes away a sales conversion based on total calls and total sales, which hurts your incentive and your performance goals. Agents have no control over the types of calls they receive and sometimes it felt like when you were doing very well for the month, all of a sudden your types of calls changed and you could see your sales drop and in turn your commission drop too. You are "teathered" to a headset during your entire shift with the exception of breaks which are scheduled for you. So you become very sedentary and you can start to feel isolated since you are not in a office environment.

Pros

Different services and softwares provided by Hilton are convenient to have access to.

Cons

The new PMS system, PEP, is awful. They got rid of F&B Distribution for night audit which means a lot less work for night auditors and way more work for accountants. PEP also doesn’t have the same functionalities as OnQ, the previous PMS. I have not heard any good thing about PEP after all these years. The team member travel discounts aren’t good anymore. They used to be flat rates across three tiers of hotels, but now they are extremely variable and can run very high. On top of that, hotels and resorts still charge team members for parking and service fees, so you still can’t afford to travel on the discount. That is, if you even find the team member rate available. Chances are, you’ll be working for a franchisee, not Hilton itself. They may be one of the world’s best companies to work for, but you probably won’t actually be working for them. California taxes and district fees felt mishandled by corporate.
