Excellent Place to Work

Winery associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Biltmore offers great benefits and takes care of their employees, including a free employee health clinic on site, sick leave even for part time, as well as free tickets for family and friends.

Cons

Scheduling can sometimes be difficult with such a large number of employees so you’re required to request time off a minimum of 4 weeks in advance and even that sometimes is not enough notice to be approved

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.
