This place will suck you in with a “decent” starting hourly wage and make promises on your advancements to just never get you there. In the year I worked there we went through SIX new managers/supervisors all in the span of the first 5 months. Hours are extremely long during season and you are forced to work 50-60 and then during slow season you are lucky to get 20. The drama in the workplace is outrageous and managers take sides with their favorite employees when it comes to solving these problems, and going to HR doesn’t change it either. Instead of firing you they will make every effort to push you out and get you to leave on your own. Members are extremely entitled and managers do not care if the members are disrespectful towards you in any manner, you are still expected to treat them kindly and kiss their butts. It’s almost impossible to get time off to go on vacation even during off season, and during season for 4-5 months they do not allow any time off requests unless it is for a family matter. They will keep you 3 hours past your scheduled time during season so don’t expect to have a life outside of work where you can plan anything. 

First thing in morning you have a meeting and right after it is go time! Golfers will be right behind you and you have perform your tasks given to you and stay ahead. Once you make it around the 18 Holes then that is half your day! Lots of digging and using shovels mostly. When it rains you have to fix all the washouts and make everything look clean and do it over again because of the rain. You will work in the rain unless it is pouring. Bring a rain coat! Best part of the job was a 30min -1hour break depending on the plan the Superintendent has for the crew. Like laying sod, mowing, shoveling, blowing, and heavy equipment if your lucky.

Typical work day as a reel technician- Maintain cut quality and equipment fleet maintenance. Track and monitor equipment use for lease package.

Learning on the job is provided, training for continuous growth also provided.

Management is okay. Dependent on shop location. Overall, treats workers well enough. 

Culture is how you make of it. Can be good, can be bad.

Hardest part would be dealing with mixed cultures and language barriers.

Enjoyable part as an equipment tech- starting early to finish early, having weekends off to spend with family.


It is a great place to work. Great benefits and can foster a great work culture but due to being far away from the city and sometimes taxing drive talent is far and few. 
Lots of its biggest issue is that people aren’t willing to come out and accept any position because of the distance. New employees are hard to come by and reliable ones that are great workers are even harder. 
Work confidentially is also an issue where if someone finds out something by the matter of hours all of the clubs houses know about it. 
A couple of issues also tend to get swept under the rug or managers don’t step up and speak up

* I would like to amend the dates of employment listed above to : 10/15 to 1/16
Busy purchasing and distribution department with a small staff, required to meet the needs of several restaurants on the property.The very early start time greatly impacted my personal life and I didnt feel that the work/life balance and limited compensation met my needs. Management seemed very competent and flexible with day to day operations. I enjoyed the sense of accomlishment after meeting the daily goals of out internal customers.

Desert Mountain has amazing benefits, the best I have ever received at a company. Definitely make a livable wage. There is the ability to transfer within the company and easily experience the multiple outlets on property. HR is great! Some management at specific outlets is consistent where other outlets it feels like a revolving door. Unfortunately promotion from within does not happen as much as it should. Life/work balance lacks

The company overall is decent in terms of working there. The location of the job is the most demanding part, its at least forty minutes from the nearest place of residence unless your place of residence is in the desert, secluded. The pay is good but the company follows an arbitration agreement that means anyone can be bounced anytime. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Compensation packet, benefits and their culture 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Is a long drive to get there and seasonality but worth it

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great culture, has changed so much over the last few years

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Many employees, much to be done but everyone works together to get the job done

Be careful with this company, they claim to be among the best worldwide, but there is lots of favoritism starting at the top with Executive leadership.  This place is always understaffed and creates a stressful environment, Non-exempt workers are lowly paid and exempt employees are highly paid, while they have diversity in the workforce, they lack the inclusion of the diversity with regards to  gender, race and age.

Created the foundation for which I built my entire career. Unwavering standards and expectation of everything food/service related. Taught me the definition of perfection. However consumed my entire life at the time of employment.
