-Housing is convenient and comfortable. My second year I got private housing.
-Well staffed and well funded.
-Nice facility
-Members/clients of the stables are kind and courteous for the most-part
-Great area for horses
Cons
-Difficult to run a barn with the confinement that such an official business structure brings
-Many clients were wonderful, but the few who were not were BAD
-While I was barn manager/trainer, didn't have as much control over long term plans as I would have liked
highly anxious management, clicky work environment, negative energy environment , no background checks on coworkers, no in-depth interview or resume checking, honestly there's a lot of red flags etc..
