Pros

Amazing communication within hotel, tons of training for new and current employees/managers, plenty of opportunities for advancement, true concern for the customer, great Hyatt discounts and complementary rooms all over the World, reasonable insurance and 401K, free lunch/dinner and parking discounts at Mansion House garage.

Cons

All Hyatt jobs are globalized (meaning they are the same at all the hotels across the Globe) therefore, they let management know that they are easily dispensable, even though managers can advance fairly quickly - low employee morale is caused by the fact that managers are constantly being moved from department to department within the hotel and across the country - it's not likely for a manager to stay in one spot/department for more than 1 year (I was moved to 3 different departments in 2 years as manager/asst manager so new managers could be moved in - I never requested the moves & never wanted them), inside joke - HYATT stands for "Have Your A$$ There Tomorrow because they move managers out to other hotels so often, also ... management hours are grueling at well over 70hrs a week, employee down-sizing meant too many were given an unfair amount of daily tasks, a certain Executive Hotel Manager would scream and curse at his Hotel Managers (FD, HSK, Valet, Guest Svs, etc) daily **Overall, the Hyatt Company is great for single, young managers who WANT TO advance through the departments for training and eventually become higher level managers. Hyatt is NOT for individuals with families who enjoy working in only one aspect of the hotel industry.

Pros

Great work environment, team was helpful and really nice, workload wasn’t overwhelming

Cons

Didn’t feel super included on the team as a contractor, expectations were consistently unclear, they tell you it’s temp to perm, but could be years before a permanent role is available
