what we offer: pay & benefits
Our belief in our people extends beyond training and career development. Strategically designed to attract, retain, recognize and motivate, our compensation programs are frequently compared to leading companies in the hospitality industry. They emphasize the pay-for-performance philosophy that Westin—and our parent company Starwood—embrace.
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 allow associates 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.
In addition to your paycheck, Westin associates enjoy a comprehensive benefits program, designed to help alleviate worries about your family’s health, future and well-being. Although programs vary from country to country, here is a sampling of the benefits that Westin 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
In the same way we encourage our guests to renew and restore, Westin supports a healthy work-life balance, promoting wellness benefits such as our associate-friendly Paid Time Off and vacation programs. We’re in the business of recognizing that there’s more to life than work, and that a retreat from the rigors of everyday can work wonders on an emotional, spiritual and physical level. And this belief is practiced from the inside out, allowing our associates to practice what they preach and take advantage of our great employee discounts on hotel stays (see perks for details).
