Pros
- Great Work Environment: As part of the HR team at Putrajaya Marriott Hotel, I have had the privilege of working in a very supportive and collaborative environment. The leadership is generally open to feedback, and there is a focus on employee development and well-being.
- Employee Benefits: The hotel provides solid benefits, including competitive salary packages, allowances, and employee discounts on hotel stays. Additionally, the health and wellness benefits are comprehensive, which is great for employees' overall well-being.
- Training and Development: Marriott places a strong emphasis on continuous learning, which has allowed me to grow in my HR career. There are multiple training programs and development initiatives that help employees progress and gain new skills.
- Caring for Diversity & Inclusion: Marriott has a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, which is reflected in the HR practices. The hotel is inclusive, and as an HR professional, it's rewarding to see such positive efforts in creating a diverse and welcoming workplace.
Cons
- Workload at Times: The HR department, like many hospitality sectors, can get quite busy, especially during peak seasons. At times, this can lead to a high workload and stress levels, but the team always supports each other.
- Long Hours: While the hotel business is inherently a 24/7 operation, this can sometimes mean longer working hours, especially when handling recruitment or employee concerns. However, the management tries to offer flexibility when possible.
- Limited Career Advancement: While there are opportunities to learn, career growth can sometimes feel slow, particularly for roles in HR. However, this can vary depending on your career goals and what you're looking for in terms of progression.
