Pros

*I made some beautiful connections *The surrounding nature and wild life is breathtaking.

Cons

*The People and Culture department is really NOT for the people. *Very clique and no genuine sense of belonging. *Gives the appearance of being a spiritual community, but is clearly all about profit. Not a place for people who are doing the real inner work and serious about their spiritual path. *Besides the salad bar, a lot of processed, carb-heavy food that reminded me of a high school cafeteria. *No real support for their staff's well-being or the space to express grievances. *For the amount being taken out of paychecks, the living spaces are deplorable and need to be updated.

Pros

An AMAZING collection of some of the most insightful, talented, OM people you can find in one place! I mean, my workshop (you get 1 free workshop per year of full-time service), my co-workers, the yoga "celebrities" that come week to week- it's all almost too much! A beautiful place with beautiful people and SUCH diversity of practices going on, but everyone is set on deepening their experience regardless of how.

Cons

Whew! Just as the PROS section is extreme, this section is as well. #1 LYME DISEASE!! 1/4 of my department verifiedly contracted the disease here in a totally tick INFESTED atmosphere. I am blessed to have not, but I feel the organization gives 0% warning about this area being the #1 area for Lyme Disease infection IN THE COUNTRY. Among the returning staff (those working here more than one season), I have found something to the tune of 80% have Lyme Disease, which research seems to indicate they will have recurring symptoms for at least a very long time, if not the rest of their lives!! Google Dutchess County Lyme Disease and check out the CDC reports on Dutchess County. Intertwined with this, the customer service experience here is very much a high-end crowd, while the accommodations for staff are tents, storage shed style rooms and a trailer park with no A/C (for returning staff only). While the experience is about nature, etc, I felt that the high demands of the day-to-day job deserved either higher pay or better living quarters.
