Margaritaville

They’re the most unorganized company I’ve worked for. They’ll hire you for a summer with little to no training, then put you on “layoff” in the fall with the expectation that you’ll be on limited shifts so you’re able to at least collect EI. Communication towards employees is slim to none. Once they finally let you know they won’t be bringing you back from layoff (6 months later) saying your position is no longer needed, they’ll immediately start posting that job looking for new hires. Good employee or not they keep approx 5 servers and 5 bartenders that have been there and get rid of everyone else. The only pro to working here is the influx of tourists in the summer bringing high volume to the restaurant. There’s no onsite parking and staff is expected to pay to park in the skylon lot. 

Typical day at work was to walk in, Take out the garbage upon arrival and start Clearing the dishes, or Fill up mops and start cleaning restaurant before we opened (Depending on the duties of that day). The management did there best to help me and get me to do the best job i could do, And were always pretty nice about it. Co-workers didn't really care about the other people working with them, IE: Throwing garbage on the floor beside the garbage can, making someone else clean it up later. The most enjoyable part of the job was probably working with the managers, learning new ways and quicker ways to Accomplish everyday tasks.

The actual work tasks are fine. Minimal professional kitchen experience, I excelled rather quickly and started to train new staff as they were brought on in the summer.

Communication towards the end of the season was almost non-existent. Frustrating, to say the least.

Good opportunity if you're just passing through, or need to catch up briefly re: finances, but hours are not as advertised, and stability is lacking.

Kitchen staff discounted 50% on staff meals, cannot take home wasted food without paying.
Forced to pay for store merchandise (hat and multiple T-shirts) at a discounted rate for uniform.

Management does not like to have outstanding workers making them look bad and they will promote less deserving and less experienced over quality. They also like to bring your replacement in and introduce them before you know you are being replaced. The management i.e. General Manager does not care about much more than his bottom dollar and bonuses. HR is a total joke because the only thing that matters is how The rep feels about you. Not professional at all.

- Hardly any place to park vehicle
- Even 10 shifts into work schedule, I find myself constantly forced to beg for basic simple supplies such as latex gloves, polishing rags and cleaning chemicals 
- Even 10 shifts working, not even listed on work schedule
- Forced to beg for paystub
- No closet to lock any supplies away 
- No communication board for employees
- Most employees cold, distant and won't even get a good morning

I'm my short time working there, it became very evident to me that there is a massive amount of toxic energy in the building. Even more evident is that it comes from upper management. Very much a turn em and burn em establishment, both with customers and staff. Pretty bad when tabassco sauce is valued more than people. Please stay away from these horrible people.

I was opening team and worked for a year  there was an owner transition and management back then was terrible.  I did not have a good experience with management and the owner in 2011.  I personally would not recommend working for the owner.  I hope things have changed

The staff, management and environment here is amazing. I’ve never worked for a company where I actually love all the managers and have them support you so much. It’s all strong woman who lead the company and it’s amazing!! Such good support and such great people. The staff are also very wholesome and genuine. A great place to work!

I have worked at Margaritaville since June 2017. During my time here their has been the highest turnover of staff and management I have ever seen. The owner and management team do nothing to help the business progress and grow. The staff are not trained properly and bully anyone they feel does not fit in.
