A Horirible Experience at Marriott Tax Department! - Tax Manager Marriott International Employee Review

I was with its tax department. Whether it is within the department or company-wide, it is a very red-taped place. The management at the tax department is not flexible and does not help employees with work-life balance. The company's hierachy structure is stiff with many layers. Management style is like in the military - harsh, inflexible, with no respect for individuality. In addition, micromanagement prevails, and most people have no automation to do their work. Employee turnover in the tax department is frequent and most people feel very stressed working there! Just like in a pressure cooker! Another terrible thing is that they have too many unneccessary meetings which make employees end up working late because they must put in more time to do the actual work after the meetings. The benefits are not as good as you can expect from a big company like Marriott. Share of the costs of health insurance, dental insurance, disability insurances are higher than at most places. Employees must pay for their own disability insurances 100%. Marriott does not even allow new employees to contribute to 401K for a year! Imagine how it could mess up the financial life for new employees with that policy! Just a horrible experience!
