Pros

It is a beautiful property and the insurance is very good. Also employee discounts and perks are good as well as a great employee cafeteria staff!

Cons

Not a great work/life balance. Some managers give you a hard time about taking time off. No real opportunity for advancement as an hourly, it is very political. Goals for bonuses are set just out of reach or manipulated so that they are unattainable. Everyone talks behind each others back including management. Always understaffed, managers are unhelpful or no where to be found. No accountability by supervisors who seem disinterested in actually doing their job. Many supervisors and management creating a hostile work environment but go unchecked by anyone.
