Pros

Uniforms are cleaned and pressed each day. Very diverse. There are not very many good things I can say about this location.

Cons

Overworked and underpaid. Different benefits for certain positions. Corporate employees enjoy great benefits and cooks, housekeeping, and etc were considered Union employees with low grade benefits. Men sat around and watched women lift HEAVY commercial equipment and didn't ask if they needed assistance. SLAVE drivers, no recognition for hard work, and threats of termination made on a regular basis due work NOT being to their expectations. NO career progression. I wouldn't suggest anyone working in the kitchen. It was the absolutely worse work experience I have ever had in my 20 plus years in the work force.

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.
