Best Job Ever!

Pros

If you're looking for an amazing, loving, nurturing, beautiful environment then you must come to Omega, as a volunteer all of your needs are completely met, if you're here for the long term and you're full time then your wants are met as well. This is by far the greatest experience I've been blessed to have. I work in the dining hall, some say it's difficult, but truly is a piece of cake!

Cons

The heat....but that's mother nature, so what can you do.

Interesting Summer Job

Pros

I met interesting people working here for the season. Clients were eager to share their experiences from the classes they were attending. People were open minded and there were many staff programs available to enhance the experience, making it feel as though staff were in retreat as well. The grounds were lovely.

Cons

Pay was not very high. As a service provider I felt both the rate charged to clients and the rate paid out to providers should be higher. Tips should be automatically included.

Some Pros, Some Cons

Seasonal staff member

Business Outlook

Pros

A large community of seasonal workers flock there every season. Offered free, daily movement & meditation classes, some free weekly personal development classes, and one free workshop per season. Major discounts for staff on Wellness/Massage Services. Some managers were friendly. Workload was manageable. Beautiful campus. If there was vacancy they allowed staff to have up to two guests stay overnight for free 2x per season.

Cons

No benefits, bonuses or vacation/sick time for seasonal employees. A very low pay rate because although Omega pays minimum wage to $16 per hour, they charge an expensive, ever-increasing room and board fee: In 2022 they deducted $6 per hour for room and board for a small, single room or a trailer both with communal/shared bathrooms. So the actual hourly rate was $7.50-$10.00 per hour before taxes. Seasonal staff could only have visitors (even day visitors) on a total of 4 days over a five and a half month season. Some managers were outright unfriendly and disrespectful. Overall a dismissive attitude from management toward seasonal staff. No room for career/job growth.
