Cherokee Town & Country Club

This is a decent establishment to begin one's bartending or serving career. I don't recommend working here for long though because the starting salary is only a smidgeon over $11 an hour (and we're in 2017) and the company doesn't guarantee you that you are going to have work from week to week. When I worked here, I had to continually ask my boss for more hours. Sometimes my boss would literally approach us and tell us that hours were going to be tough to come by because the country club was having budgeting issues. 

Most of these scheduling annoyances would have been easily solved if the company had adopted some efficient and smart scheduling tool, like HotSchedules. There was no way for us to know if one of our coworkers needed to call off that week unless we called every single person on staff if we could work their shift for them. Last but not least, because tips are not allowed here, you really felt how much you did not make when you worked the 12 hour days around Christmas time and the holidays. 

Some of the members are really nice and will be kind to you. They can be funny when they drink too much on the tennis courts...but then this is dampened by the unfortunate reality that this country club enforces the mentality that you ARE working at a country club. And this DOES mean that you are at the bottom and the managers will especially treat the wealthiest members as indeed if he is God or Jesus himself.

Cherokee Town and Country Club is probably one of the best places I've worked as a server. Although the work was hard, it was rewarding, both monetarily and personally. I'm not talking about the members of the club which I pretty much worked for as their hefty club dues and money spent in the fine dining restaurants paid my salary, but I'm talking about the team I worked with. Everyone pitched in ALWAYS. Managers, bartenders, servers, server assistant, somellier, even at times the chefs, worked so well as a team that it made my time there an incredible experience. Not only was the staff well-trained, knowledgeable, and hard-working- they were all genuinely good people.
The hardest part of the job was probably at times the club members. As the number one country club in the nation, we served very wealthy and elite individuals. They aren't bad people, they can just be very unruly if they don't get what they expect. I don't blame them as I knew how much they spent at the club on monthly dues as well as dining, but being emotionally detached from things that could be said to me as I was "low-class" in comparison to the societal status of the people I was waiting on is a must to be able to handle the work environment.

My time at Cherokee Town and Country Club was hopeful at best. The best way to explain it is, that is in the kitchen department; the "higher ups" are pretty much the leaders of "the clan". Your word, ideas, beliefs, and opinion(s) do not matter and you are bound by SLAVERY!!!!! I rather be dead than work for people who DO NOT care for the people who actually WORK for the company. If you want to get by by complaining and being lazy, then this place is for you.Being a professional to myself and to the food I love to cook and be a part of, is lacking here. They precook steaks and freeze everything and put a high price on it and the members have to suffer from QUANTITY  for QUALITY. The pay was descent and the Health benefits are good. And there are good people that work there or 1 in the kitchen "upstairs" JP and 1 or 2 a wait staff. That's about it. If you want to grow as a chef..... DO NOT WORK THERE!!!!! If you want to be LAZY, then this is the place for you.

Cherokee standards are the best in the Hospitality industry. If your wanting to boost your career then its a good place for training and development . One big down fall is there is a NO tipping policy and in the service industry that is almost unheard of. 

They star all service employees out between $10..00-$12.50 per hour.

With the setup and break down duties you earn every penny and if a member or guest want to tip you for a great job they can't or you will get fired.??? Yes that is they policy. If you started working there several years ago , then you have it made... The older employee have a great hourly rate. But from what I have experienced starting there as a new employee now would be difficult to make ends meet unless you plan on working 2 full time jobs.

$12.50 per hour is poverty level.

An Experienced Bartender and Server can make $30-$40 per hour if you get in with the right Establishment.

Cherokee was one of the best employers I have had thus far. Very professional and cohesive workplace. Some daily duties entailed: ensuring work stations were set up for a successful shift in-turn anticipating members needs, supervising and training new employees to ensure consistency within service. Positive atmosphere and supportive team members were some highlights of  working at Cherokee. Management was very understanding and flexible. They truly value each and every member of the team. The hardest part of the job was learning how to "talk the talk and walk the walk." Overall, I have learned how to work under pressure and  while upholding a professional demeanor.

Cherokee Town and Country Club helped to develop me into the Chef that I am today. Through varying leadership skills to education of successfully operating Chefs Tables, Banquets and dinner service.Working here has helped me become a well rounded Chef and Cook. The experience was nothing short of exceptional. The Chefs here taught me to carry myself professionally and to care for each clients needs to the highest level. From special diets to religious restrictions, no two members were exactly the same. For this I am eternally grateful to the entire Cherokee Family and members. I hope to find the same devotion and care in a restaurant here in Las Vegas.

When I first started working at Cherokee, I enjoyed the experience. However, it was only after about three months and a change in management did things take a turn. It was supposed to be a place of learning from everyone and trying new things to make everyone happy. Now it is just whatever to get a meal out not caring who learns what as long as the customer is happy and get what they want. Used to give out ideas but if you are not of a chef title, none of that matters. Just push the meal out. Everyday is a drag working there, I can't clock out fast enough when it's time to go home. The only thing I can say that makes it worth going to everyday is the benefits and mandatory off days on Mondays.

My current work environment has provided me a lot of room to grow as an individual and a team member. Everyone is so supportive of me and the work I do which in turn help me create positive work environments for all staff and employees...it can be challenging work at times but always rewarding and I am compensated fairly on top of uniform, on the job meals, employee golf, employee appreciate benefits, etc.

You will learn a proper way to be as a person and keep your home. A lot of things with this job is basically restocking and setting. This company (coworkers) act like they are your family and you make great friends. The hours a good if do not have a life outside of this company. The hardest part will be when someone is working against you or not being a cheerful mood. This company loves diversity and there are excellent benefits. This company consistently wants to improve and be better.
