Pros

Very nice property, makes you proud to work for Sheila Johnson and her vision of a top resort. Co workers were very dedicated in the kitchen and front of the house

Cons

Upper management treated their employees like they were objects, without any valuable real communication, everything was scripted and no one excepted blame for not really being equipped with man power, and even equipment to run a successful operation on that grand scale People had to work overtime on a weekly basis, drive over 30 minutes to an hour+ daily without any real time off until they closed the restaurant on Monday and Tuesdays then you were sometimes forced to work in another outlet you were not familiar with and expected to deliver 5 star service. Other department managers were always meddling and pointing fingers without being team focused or solutions oriented. HR handled disciplinary issues like Roger Goodell handled Tom Brady. I was unfairly treated there because the managers were constantly demanding and never listening I was mentioned for positive experiences by many guests who dined in the restaurant, and had a hand typed letter praising my service and menu knowledge and yet was admonished for things I had very little control over.

Pros

Really felt like family working for Salamander, and the financial compensation is definitely worthwhile.

Cons

There will be slow seasons and busy seasons, but that is quite common for any career in hospitality.
