Great place to work if you don't need/want money

Pros

Environment is beautiful, staff is generally friendly and positive. Room and Board included. If you stay on for a full season you may attend a workshop for free. Great people.

Cons

Massive pay gap between seasonal staff, massage therapists and corporate staff. Seasonal staff is offered "minimum wage" that is a recent increase of pay to $250 per week (for full time work) along with room and board. That is 6.25/hr and should cover the cost of your toothpaste and soap while you're there. The living conditions are sketchy. Old moldy trailers which are no doubt a hazard to the health of anything living. The food is marketed as organic, but it's sadly a lie. Only the salad is organic. Nearly all else is cheap, bulk, and likely gmo.
