Pros
Although Hyatt became a public company about 5 years ago, there is still a culture similar to family run businesses but with all the pro's of a big company. A lot of structure, a lot of guidance which is important especially in the beginning of one's career. The company offers great benefits p.e. matching 401K, etc... Hyatt is clearly a people driven company and although there are a lot of changes on higher levels, they truly seem to believe in being successful through satisfying employees. There is a lot of focus high quality training.
Cons
The cons of being such a large public company is that there are SOP's for everything and although they encourage creativiy and out of the box thinking, in reality there is not a lot of space for that. From a compensation perspective Hyatt is not the leader in the industry and bonuses do not always get paid.
