Good pay, questionable management - Visitor Services Butchart Gardens Employee Review

Pros

Pay is decent, and training is rigorous

Cons

This is a very rigid and weird working environment. There is an archaic appearance policy, very rigid behavioural requirements, and the top layer of leadership is controlling and unpredictable. Management spends a lot of time managing certain personalities above them who are known to be verbally abusive to staff and customers alike when provoked.

Pros

A great work environment and culture. A large amount of the senior staff really care about the place and want to make the visitors have the best possible experience. There is a lot of opportunity to make advances within the departments if you work hard and are good at the job, even from entry level.

Cons

Cons would be the shift work/evenings and weekends.

Pros

Management team are very friendly and supportive. They care about employees' needs.

Cons

If I had to add a con, it would be that the location is too far from home, which means a lot of time spent on the commute.
