Good in theory, terrible reality - Event Manager Marriott International Employee Review

Pros

Opportunities to move up, good benefits. CEO and owners have good values and intentions.

Cons

Depends on the property but management can really be horrible. Most managers’ goals are to look good to the boss, even if that means throwing their employees under the bus. They tend to do enough to put on their resume then move up after a year or 2. Everyone (and I mean everyone) is severely overworked. Even before the pandemic, we were always understaffed and we were working 10+ hour days. The culture is 10+ hours, 5+ days a week and if you leave after 8 hours, you’re looked at like you don’t care/are blowing it off. Salary pay is so low for the amount of work you’re actually doing. I was very unhappy and don’t plan on returning to hospitality because of my experience.

Pros

Great team environment with opportunities to learn hotel operations. The work is generally independent, management trusts employees to handle responsibilities, and the employee travel discounts are an excellent benefit.

Cons

Overnight shifts can be challenging, staffing can occasionally be limited, and balancing guest service with audit responsibilities during busy nights can become stressful.
