Pros

Great Company, Great Associate handbook, Good pay rates, Good Benefits and good opportunities to move internationally within the Company.

Cons

When I started working there it was great, especially with the presence of the Marriott Culture and Fair policies till the Company moved from London to Cork in 2003 and this was the downfall of this great company, the atmosphere became so hostile and coalitions started forming, you are either with the Management or the staff, and became worse when the HR department took the side of the management back in 2006 to 2008 using scare tactics against any associates who voices their opinion or complain about being bullied, I was personally bullied and gave many evidence to HR at the time which I still have till today. Surely the HQ Senior Management were aware of it especially when Associates started to leave the company after being with it for 8-10 years, some of them even moved from London with them. The Owner Services Senior Management were the worst and they were even discriminating against specific groups/ethnics while practicing favoritism with other groups, it is no coincidence that all the Middle Eastern Supervisors were made redundant back in 2008 while only 1 European only had the same fate and in this department you had to have a typical slave mentality to be promoted, in other words if you are a yes person.

Pros

Bebefits like medical were good.

Cons

During my employment as a Quality Assurance employee, I experienced clear unequal treatment compared to colleagues in the same position. Westbound QA employees were not required to clock in and out for lunch, while Eastbound QA employees like myself were required to do so — despite holding identical job classifications. As an hourly employee, this meant I was regularly working unpaid time during mandatory "break" periods. This was not a minor oversight — it was a policy applied unequally between teams. When I raised this concern directly to my manager, instead of acknowledging the legitimate issue, my manager responded by threatening to file an internal HR complaint against me — claiming I had raised my voice in a customer area. I did not raise my voice. Rather than addressing the problem, my manager used this as an opportunity to discourage me from speaking up further. This entire conversation was recorded with my manager's full knowledge and consent. Additionally, a senior manager in my department consistently declined notarization requests from the sales team, redirecting all notary work to me despite being equally qualified. When I was finally given authorization by the Director to take my 30-minute break, I returned to find 7 notarization documents piled on my desk — the senior manager had declined to handle them during my authorized absence.
