Hilton 11

What employees are saying
The employees really take the Hilton values to heart and even at a corporate level hospitality is in everyone's blood. I almost never feel like I'm bothering someone with a "stupid question" or when I reach out to another team just to network or figure out more about what they do. I feel like our team especially feels safe to share and be vulnerable on larger team calls and with each other. Also, as a new mother, Hilton and my manager are SO flexible for doctors appts or if she needs to be with me on a call because she's sick. With ample vacation time too I really feel like I'm encouraged to recharge for myself and to connect with my family.

I have been here for many years, and I have seen a lot of progress over the years. When I had my children I thought the time off and support we received was fantastic, but it's even better now. Not only do mothers get paid time off, but so do fathers. And the benefits also apply to parents who are adopting! I have also seen first-hand, the support our leaders, and their families, receive in cases of death or disability. The sense of partnership is truly extraordinary, in my opinion.
