Workplace bullying and oblivious management

Pros

It’s pretty out there Free meal, if you can get them to actually make it

Cons

A lot of workplace bullying towards new staff One day of training and no support after that Running very short staffed and expects everyone else to pick up that slack Got in trouble for sitting down during a 10 hour shift, told we’re not allowed to take breaks No real management team—the managers are just people who get paid more to be servers to the members. There are no actual leaders, no real guidance, no real direction on what the goals are. No communication whatsoever. You can ask 10 people the same question about how things operate and get 10 different answers, no one seems to know anything for sure

Pros

- you work with great people who really care about you - excellent benefits and meals - membership is thoughtful and often make efforts to show that they care - excellent supervision - job location is absolutely beautiful. Walking paths everywhere and the setting is a private island so what's not to love.

Cons

The cons are the same as working in any position: some staff/members can be difficult depending on what is going on in their personal lives. As a general rule this is an excellent place to work.

Good benefits but could be a long commute

Pros

Good benefits package for full time employees. Membership is pretty laid back for a country club and all but a few treat staff with dignity and respect.

Cons

It's a long commute for most people if you live in Beaufort or beyond.
