Pros

You could make friends working here or even work with friends you already have. They pretty much hire all the time and in bulk.

Cons

The management team is horrible. They're rude and there is a lot of favoritism. If you don't suck up to the managers, you'll get stuck with crappy shifts and for Bayhosts, that means you get put in less popular areas. There is no room for growth at all. The schedule a lot of doubles and clones because people come and go. They fool you during "X-Factor" and training, but when people realize the truth, they leave. That's why they have hiring events every month, sometimes twice a month.

Pros

Free golf, Flexible schedule, Good discounts on food.

Cons

What can I say? Horrible management, favoritism when it comes to scheduling and low team moral. For a place that preaches about culture and inclusion, there is literally zero. The effort most people put in is as useful as a cardboard cutout. Hard work is truly not valued and I would never recommend someone apply here. The company as a whole doesn't reward the people running the business and it shows by how they penny pinch the people on the front line who work for every dollar they make. Almost every month I would dread pre-shift meetings because we would learn about another way "it was better for us" when in reality, it was removing our opportunity to make tips and hiking up prices for guests. Also the way events were set up never benefited bayhosts, if it is positioned as a "luxury" experience autograt should be included so that all the work that goes into that experience before, during and after is seen. Overall stay away.
