Pros
Being a Marriott employee in general is a great opportunity. It opens so many doors - career wise - and the Marriott discounts are great for both the employee and their family members/friends. With Marriott on your resume, you know that you received good training and have the skills to set you up for success. The SpringHill brand in general is great, however franchised management companies can either be hit-or-miss. Though you may be offered a decent salary and basic insurance options, on many occasions there is nothing else included.
Kontras
Franchised companies do not offer great benefits. It's great being a part of a "growing" management company, but when all you're offered is a salary and basic health insurance, the time put into the job does not always pay off.
