What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay was decent. Not much else upside

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management is incredibly inhumane, they openly practice nepotism, morale is low and a constant state of hostility fills the air in the kitchen. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Low morale, employees are disrespectful to people in higher positions. The only time it actually matters is when it’s the chef though. Zero support from higher ups. Lots of call outs on a daily basis, high turn over rate, failing company. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lots of baby sitting, employees running around talking about how they “don’t care.” Breakfast & lunch close times are essentially useless.  Idiot chef lets people order almost an hour after close. Offers zero support to his employees. Bottom line, Landon post is a joke. I regret ever working for him.

Management wasn’t organized in 2020 but I heard they’ve made some changes even if I doubt they’ll be more attemptive as the company it self doesn’t care about the staff all they want is money no care for workers. 
But you do make good money and all you have to focus on is how much can you make by working double shift and it’s only seasonal so that’s a good investment for you self start in may until September and make around 30k if you work double shifts almost everyday. 
Housing sucks you have to share one small room with 2/3 ppl 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Horrible work environment.  Horrible culture.they lie in interviews then hold you hostage 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not having the proper tools to perform job 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic and aggressive.  Not a healthy place to be 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work. Get told in meetings you aren’t making budget.  Budget is inflated for ownership.  Bonuses are never paid

I love working here at the Sanctuary as I've been here 5 years this December 2017. I work overnight from 10 pm to 8 am Friday night thru Tuesday morning. I love the guests I get to interact with daily and I work alone 98% of the time. Even though I work the night shift, I see or speak with many guests during these hours. I drive 30 miles one way to work and I do it because this is a great place to work. I am looking for something different as I would love to advance in my career.

I worked as one of many Front Desk Spa Receptionists at Gurneys Seawater Spa. Worked with wonderful people which made the day go by quickly and comfortably. We were training to become a Diamond rating facility so I learned how to professionally speak to a client/customer on the phone and face to face. 
Some of the harder times of the job was just when it would pick up during the summer season, but everyone worked together to make it go as smoothly and quickly as possible which was a really nice experience.

This hotel was a great place for me to start my work experience. I was taught a lot about customer service and hospitality. I loved working with the kids at first and expanding my work experience into other areas of the hotel such as the fitness center and spa desk. These different jobs I took on each taught me something different.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The employees there are hard working. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The senior leadership treatment to the entire team

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is stressful due to not enough resources.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Chaotic. Very cold during the winter and no care for the staff

From the first till the last day I worked at Gurney's Montauk I was always in a very warm environment. All the people there are the friendliest people I've ever seen. The feeling of importance and being a part of the ''family'' was always giving me a good mood and ability to succeed. The feeling of appreciation was always giving me power even through the hard times (all we have them at work, especially during the busy season). The best place to be and to work at!

The job and customers can be extremely demanding and difficult. The company provides housing and meals for all employees at least until 2019 the housing was payed weekly but the conditions of the rooms was sad. You would have to share a room with two or three other people whom you do not know and management doesn't show a lot of concern for the employees if there is a problem with housing. 

great resort poor management. 
very dysfunctional. 
under restoration from new ownership.
the most enjoyable part of working there is spending the summer in montauk
the hardest part was the poor organization and work culture
coworkers were all transplant from florida that were brought all the way from florida and created their own click.
