Great Company, Poor Management Team

Dinning supervisor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company overall had some neat initiatives/benefits and I loved the history and beauty of the estate. The staff I worked with were phenomenal. They sought for growth and improvement.

Cons

While I was working there, management struggled. Management over my position has since changed and I hope that it is now better. However, before, it had felt like my management team would not take responsibility and would actively look to find a scapegoat for problems that they created.

Trading individualism for a good paycheck

Server/waiter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Paid on a weekly basis

Cons

Absolutely zero empathy for employee needs. Expectations of employees to sacrifice personal time for work needs is beyond what is listed for the job. High turnover rates fueled by an inability to adapt to feedback. Every employee is treated like they are replaceable, little effort is made to disguise that mentality from management. I never felt like my justifications for decisions I made were accepted by management. Even when the choice was entirely on me to make.
