Assuming both have the same credentials and performances.

Unlikely. Anyway GRO is not a good comparison with a deg grad trainee program as GROs are mostly from Shatec/poly. More like if you join a trainee program for 2-3 years then eventually become guest service manager will it be different from another deg grad who join as procurement exec then promote to procurement snr exec then the answer is no, pay & promotion about the same. Only difference is the customer front office job has a bigger title, but everyone in the industry know is common practice anyway.
Usually the more hotel floor operations type of jobs fresh grads will be hired as mgt trainees undergoing a scheduled program while more generic support back office jobs like finance, procurement, marketing, biz dev etc. will be hired straight off as execs. Details vary from hotel to hotel so hard to say for sure, but usually is like that.
