Great Workplace - Operations Manager Blue Water Development Employee Review

I'm very pleased to be a part of the Blue Water umbrella. As a GM, I am able to operate "my" property knowing that I have a dedicated support team behind me. I am encouraged to think out of the box and not feel like I'm on my own island. I enjoy the diversity of the job and being able to employ cutting edge technology to stretch and reach attainable goals. Blue Water is a down-to-earth growing company that values its employees and offers room to advance. I don't feel like a number, I feel I'm part of a team.

In-season can sometimes include some long days and weekends, not always but it is expected in the hospitality industry.

Working here has been a really positive experience. Leadership is approachable, transparent, and genuinely invested in both the success of the company and the growth of employees. The culture encourages collaboration and problem-solving, and team members support each other instead of competing. There are plenty of opportunities to learn new skills and take on more responsibility if you’re motivated. Work-life balance is respected, which makes it easier to perform well without burning out.

Like any growing company, there are times when processes are still being built out and things move quickly. It requires adaptability, but leadership is open to feedback and continuously improving.
