Pros

The access to the gyms, classes, and spa was the golden highlight to my year here. The eucalyptus room alone was worth a lot of stress. As a PA I also received free services to better understand and relate to the guest experience. I loved my team and they were great! If the weather was dangerous in the winter I heard some employees were able to stay in the hotel overnight for free. There was comradery between the departments- especially those client-facing. We had a daily volleyball game at lunch which was cross-departmental and wonderfully fun. I miss those guys. It was a great job after college to just get a paycheck and further customer service experience.

Cons

The facilities were beautiful but guest-focused only. Our kitchen/ eating area for employees was truly a sad place and the meals were expensive and not healthy. The staff were definitely poorly compensated for the work and hours they provided. Holiday hours held no extra perks or compensation and at $13/hour paying for insurance made it difficult to make my rent each month.

Pros

Beautiful facility. Discounts on services. Probably a really great company if you work on the corporate side/C-Suite.

Cons

However, if you are going to apply for a hands on role at a property/club - do not work here. Including management positions. Canyon Ranch was once a celebrated idea, company, and place to work, but over the last handful of years with the ownership change, as well as the current C-Suite (Rivers, Phinney, Werner, etc), Canyon Ranch is the worst “health and wellness” company on the market. Mainly for your mental health. And your pay. If you do decide to take a job on the property/club side, just remember this review when you try to ask for a pay raise (LOL), find yourself doing the work of three roles because they are too cheap and broke (yes, really) to hire good talent, and lose sleep at night because you have zero support from the people who think they know better than you who have never worked a day in their life in customer service. As a warning: please keep searching for another company to work for if you want to keep your sanity and be respected for what you bring to the table.
