Starwood Hotels & Resorts

What We Offer: Pay & Benefits

At Starwood, we believe that an honest day's work deserves an honest day's pay. For their hard work, Starwood associates enjoy very competitive pay. Our compensation programs are designed to attract, retain, recognize, and motivate our most valuable resource - people - while emphasizing our pay-for-performance philosophy. Starwood's compensation programs are regularly compared against leading companies in the hospitality industry and general industry to maintain a competitive position in the marketplace.

Base pay and other compensation is dependent on location, level, function, and a number of other factors, but is always competitive with other employers. Annual performance reviews give associates the opportunity to earn increases in their base pay, and in some cases, annual bonuses. Some functions, such as sales, have a component of their pay based on commission.

But you do not work just for a paycheck. At Starwood, we provide our associates with a comprehensive benefits program designed to give you and your family peace of mind. You should not have to worry about things like your health and your future, and we will do whatever we can to help.

Although benefits vary from country to country, here are some of the benefits that Starwood may be able to offer to you as an associate:

  • Comprehensive, low cost health insurance for you and your family
  • Dental and vision insurance coverage
  • Company-sponsored retirement plans (U.S. 401(k) program)
  • Life Insurance and Disability Insurance
  • Flexible Spending Accounts
  • Employee Stock Purchase Plan
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Adoption Assistance
  • Domestic Partner eligibility

Finally, Starwood has associate-friendly Paid Time Off and vacation programs, and encourages associates to maintain a healthy work-life balance. There is more to life than work... and you will need time off to take advantage of our great employee discounts on hotel stays (see perks for more information).

The bottom line is this: Starwood takes care of its associates through competitive pay and benefits programs. If this sounds appealing to you, we invite you to search for current job openings.
