Pros

The Benefits are good and include discounts, once a year you get to dine at any restaurant on the estate, lots of different perks, and there's health insurance. If your full time there are lot of benefits with sick days, and holidays

Cons

Raises come along once a year, it's not very competitive, and a four percent increase is the highest you can go unless you are promoted, and if you transfer to a different department you possibly won't get your raise unless this is a higher position

Pros

Working for the Biltmore has been a truly enjoyable experience. The managers where I work are all qualified and very helpful. The atmosphere is fun while still maintaining the working relationship between manager and employee. The employees fit together and help each other whenever needed.

Cons

Sometimes it does show that we are a large company and the bottom line matters. Decisions are made high up on the ladder that affects the other employees slightly negatively.

Great location. Work in a "castle" surrounded by priceless works of art and furniture. Company has excellent benefits and an on site health clinic. Company is very supportive. Coworkers are like family.

Cons

Must work holidays. Front line positions do not allow time off to visit family during Christmas and thanksgiving. Salaries make it difficult to live on your own.
