Job Responsibilities
My job includes the preparation and expediting of healthy spa cuisine including entrees, salads, deserts and other guest requested items.
Uppers
Room for advancement and travel. Fast paced and very popular and expanding company. A-lot of employee benefits, not only great medical, dental and 401K, but also full use of the spa facilities and incentives points for improving one's own physical health through the use of the facilities. Employees may earn points towards paid days off and a vacation to one of the other spa resorts for 7 and 3 days as well as spa services.
Downers
Very unspecific work politics, the benefits far outweigh the downers.
Lifestyle
Full-time from 20-40 hour week. Huge diversity of career paths to get into within this particular company. Geared toward healthy living and the company encourages the employees to live like the guests, healthy and happy. Dress code varies on department from uniforms to business atire and business casual. Alot of employee only events which can also earn incentive points. Alot of team building and bonding.
Compensation
Great compensation compared to positions in competing industries. Recently the owner sold a property and instead of keeping all of the profit, every one received a monetary bonus. Salary of each position depends on experience as well as department.
Advice to Jobseekers
Have an open mind and take advantage of all that is available to you. Once you work here, you won't want to work anywhere else and there is no other place that rewards employees this much for doing their jobs. It is a great company to work for.
