Marriott International

"Embrace the art of collaboration and harmony. Cultivating the ability to connect with others, understand diverse perspectives, and navigate through differences fosters a positive atmosphere. In both personal and professional spheres, learning to get along and play along paves the way for effective teamwork, fostering lasting relationships and shared success."

"I had an executive leader tell me one time that work-life balance is for those below senior levels in the company and you know once you reach senior leadership that it doesn't exist. The company doesn't prioritize this and it will be problematic for younger talent who don't want to "pay their dues" with hours."

"There are some leaders who cultivate the inclusive culture that I believe the core of the company believes in, including our CEO. In my years with the company, I've had some of the most amazing leaders who truly help to achieve equity. However, there are old school white male leaders who believe the hours worked is directly related to performance. Although I am not a working mother, comments have been made about working mothers not working hard enough or that I should take on more work and work more hours because I don't have children. It depends on the team and your direct manager on how aligned your work life will be to the company's mission of an inclusive environment. "

"It's a great company to build your network. I made lifelong friends working with the company."

"great culture this company has, very supportive environment. recommend for all"

"As a company, Marriott is diverse, especially when it comes to women in leadership positions, and places a large emphasis on caring for its associates. However, like any other company, the leadership of the team you're on matters when it comes to your personal career experience and growth. My organization was quite siloed, and I personally didn't feel that there were a lot of opportunities to advance my career in the way I wanted to grow."

"Great maternity leave benefit, and on-site daycare center. A little light on PTO, challenging to accommodate family needs and vacations on 15 days (or less if a temp) "

"Men will make more money even with less experience. Being good at your job is not as important as making friends. As a female it was not ok to call out a man in a higher position for not doing his job. "

"Have strong EQ because it doesn't matter how talented you are, it's the relationships you build that are relevant here. Make sure you can work with a multitude of personalities and will readily accept broadly diverse opinions."

"Depends on your boss, but I had a great experience. "

"Don’t expect much support for your job. They’re happy to work you to death while not giving you what you need to do your job."

"It depends on position. I've worked on the operation side and work life balance was not good. I'm now in administration and it is very flexible. "

"If you work hard, you can be promoted, but hospitality often entails long days, so be prepared for that. "

"Insurance is amazing, just ensure you get a good read on your boss/GM."

"Make sure that you ask your manager what the flexibility policy is while interviewing. If possible, negotiate a work from home day (AWA) after your probation period ends. The process takes forever. "

"Be ready to have no life. Everything will revolve around your job, which will involve a lot of sacrifice personally."

"Many offices have designated private pumping spaces for nursing mothers"

"Very fair working environment, no option for maternity leave though"

"My property is overwhelmingly managed by women. Extremely inclusive & diverse for example: associates speak different languages & marriott hires translators. We also have full time associates who are deaf & have other disabilities. "

"I would not recommend Marriott to men or women -- the corporate culture does not allow for value, growth, or safety."

"It very much depends on the group your in the amount of flexibility that you have and hours expected."

"Varies widely depending on specific location. Some properties/management staff are wonderful, some are horrendous. I have experienced both. Overall, I have witnessed a great deal of support for women, and a large female presence in upper management."
