Tradewinds Island Resorts Reviews

Pros

Some good people to work with and the benefits were nice.

Cons

Nepotism, no room for advancement, and upper management either didn't know or didn't care about the issues the departments faced.

Pros

Team oriented approach to each day

Cons

Days can be long and hot

Pros

I spent several years at Tradewinds and was laid off due to COVID-19. Despite my sudden exit I enjoyed my time there. The front of the house is one of the busiest places to work, and you absolutely have to be flexible to succeed there. Front of house managers were always personable and willing to help employees succeed.

Cons

You sometimes feel like there's little opportunities for upward mobility and you'll be stuck as a grunt. Wages are tipped for valets and bellstaff, so if you're personable you can go far but sometimes it's pure luck on how much you make in a day.

Pros

The staff is kind, like a family to me. The regulars really make your job worth-while and brought a smile to my face on even the hardest of work days. The health insurance and other benefits are a definite plus.

Cons

Management is poorly trained, inexperienced, and does not take the employees personal lives into consideration. On more than one occasion, I witnessed unjustifiable acts done by a manager on the basis of race and gender simply because he believes that he can get away with it. Management is more often pointing out the wrongs rather than rewarding good behavior. Considering the maltreatment, the pay is inadequate for what my coworkers and I had to endure daily.
