Cons
If you want to be a manager/director/GM, note; you’re results at end of month will never be good enough. Even if you crush your budgeted numbers, it’s never good enough. As a food and beverage manager, you will need to be a labor saver and lock yourself into an hourly position; meaning, you WILL bartend and serve daily, meanwhile maintaining the tedious financial application of showcasing labor $$ that you saved by being that person. You’ll have a spreadsheet that needs to be filled out daily and uploaded for the VP’s to evaluate, then tell you how to shave more hours from an already defeated industry. You can have 2 cooks in the kitchen on a Friday night based on this budget! In their mind, hourly rates in other states often apply to your own club, when they don’t! “This club in the Florida can meet their labor projections, why can’t you?” Well we pay $5 more an hour in our state, and the upper management wrote a budget on numbers from a state that doesn’t have the same minimum wage requirements. Guess who gets to fill in that gap? THE MANAGERS! The membership experience you have been trained to know and uphold is completely lost to the all mighty dollar. Verbatim quotes from the 5 VP’s they have are; “we will sell a 20k wedding in place of the members having beers after their round.” These are dues paying members that get put in the back seat of their own club for profit of a banquet event. Staff pay: I don’t know where to begin, it’s a tip pool system based on sales. Higher ranking individuals make a dollar more an hour based on experience. Captains/servers. You’re tip pool will come out with a large hourly rate due to those sales. Those rates will not be paid! From the VP himself: “ I’m not paying a server 30/hour.” So they average it out to a convenient 20/hr, and put the rest in a “slosh fund.” That slosh find goes to the bottom line. They literally steal from earned wages to inflate their NOI! This company has no best interest to anyone except their own bottom line!
