Julep Farms

Been in the service industry my whole life. (Over 30 years in the work force)
 Always I've kept my foot in restaurant work as it can be a great way to supplement income if you find the right place.  
 What the "right place" looks like is different for everyone.  
 What this person looks for is what has been found in Julep Farms!
 
Besides the obvious beauty in the grounds and the aesthetic, the real charm lays in the experience. The experience they intend to create for the guests is pretty straightforward.   When folks arrive they are already intrigued by the elegance of what they see, the trick then becomes trying to find staff that can be an extension of what is trying to be created. 

This can sometimes prove difficult for the owners and managers as it has seemed the job pool in this geographical area brings many who have poor attitudes, do not hold a concept of bringing forward a certain upscale experience or do not  have much work ethic themselves.  

If you feel you have what it takes to work hard, maintain a good attitude and understand and implement the "Julep way", this is a exceptional place to be.  The team works well together.  The owners and management are kind people with much invested in a dream.  The owners are there working on the daily;  Doing dishes, seating tables, weeding the gardens and taking out trash...  They do it all and are not afraid of the hard work.  That speaks volumes!

The back of the house is becoming a well run machine with dedicated people delivering consistent, fine and flavorful cuisine.  And, they do it happily.  Without whining, complaints or yelling at everyone in their way, even in the thick of a fast paced rush.

We are getting ready to come into a busy season at Julep and we need help from the right candidates!  If you have hospitality in your DNA, this is the place for you!  AMAZING MONEY... if you're truly able to implement the Julep way.  
Bring your best "A" game because there's no "I" in TEAM.  

When I was first interviewed at Julep Farms, I applied as a Lead Host. During the interview they told me I would be making anywhere from $16-$19 an hour for the position, they only talked to me about the Lead host position pay and not any other pay for other positions.

When I first started I was greeted by coworkers who were extremely nice and allowed me to feel welcome to the new job. When I got there I was told I was going to start training as a server rather than host so I can learn the standards of procedures. I was fine with this even though I had stated in my interview that I did not want to be a server, as I was told it was only going to be a couple of training shifts. Eventually after a couple of weeks of only having serving shifts I was finally scheduled to host. Once I started hosting I went and asked my manager what my hourly was since they didn't specify an exact amount during the interview, I was told I was getting $15 an hour, which was completely different than what they told me in the interview. 
 
Eventually I was let go because I used the managers number to void food off of the point of sale without asking. I understand now that is a big no for Julep farms. In many cases from previous employment this type of offense is usually a write up or a talking to. Instead I was let go in the middle of an extremely busy shift, even though I had no prior write-ups. 

Working at Julep Farms can be beautiful on the surface, but behind the scenes, it’s a deeply toxic and dysfunctional environment. The owner operates through manipulation, micromanagement, and favoritism, fostering a culture of fear and control. Staff are often undervalued, disrespected, and subjected to inconsistent expectations. While the farm itself is picturesque, the workplace dynamics are draining and damaging. Leadership lacks integrity and accountability, and turnover is high because people eventually realize the cost to their mental health isn’t worth the paycheck - which is also inconsistent and often not what was agreed upon or promised. The extremely high turnover rate is not surprising once you make it in the door. Beware, you will be judged on your looks, style, and lifestyle from the moment you pull into the parking lot. If you aren’t “on brand”, you will quickly be dismissed, despite any qualifications. If you value respect, consistency, honesty, and a healthy work environment, steer clear.

I worked as a server here and was cheated numerous times on my pay. These individuals are only about themselves the owners do not give a rip about their employees. None of them. On NYE their staff worked so hard and magically the tips went missing and the owners left the country for vacation the next week leaving us all without a job or even a notice. Seems fishy to me!!!!???? I have never felt so disrespected in my entire life. These people are absolutely awful. The management does not care about their employees either only about looking good. They rave about this place as if it runs without a hitch but they forget the part where everyone quit on them due to their lack of compassion for others wellbeing. As to the “current employee” who left five stars about being paid on time, we all know you are brand new and have not been paid yet. Don’t speak so soon. The job fair was less than 2 weeks ago as posted on their social media for the world to see. Good luck if you work here.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Management vascillates on expectations and attitude. 
Property is fantastic but consistently severely understaffed. This causes employees to step up to support departments that do not necessarily fall under their job description.
This would not be a big deal if it was ever appreciated but nothing is ever enough and nothing is ever right. 
Run far, run fast until this business gets new ownership.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Owners inability to manage people 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Whatever you do is never enough.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
No appreciation for initiative or being a self starter. Just incessant reminders that you don't measure up instead of appreciation for taking on more to try to keep things running smoothly.

I loved my coworkers and made amazing money during the busy season. But the management changed every couple of months. The owners ruin their business and blame it on the workers. Was always over staffed to the point you don’t make money or way understaffed. A lot of drama in that place. You are always having to check your paystub to make sure they didn’t mess it up. If you put in your 2 weeks, money in your check goes messing. So everyone learned to just walk out the day they got paid. Menus changed constantly. Always out of food. Kitchen could never keep up with the orders, etc. If you’re desperate for money then you should work here. But if you value your sanity I recommended you to stay away. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
View of the surrounding area. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Ownership/management team. Making sure you get paid for hours worked. Keep those chits!!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Ever changing. Staff is nice overall. Ownership is bipolar, narcissistic, & sociopathic. Ever changing roles delegated. Menus changed with no reason other than ownerships “palate “. READ THE HANDBOOK!! Don’t sign it, even though law trumps any non lawful “contract “. Beware!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work multiple positions. No help. Ownership can’t make payroll. Way to many staff cuts forced by ownership. Then mgmt expected to work all positions.

If you're looking to work hard and do your job you'll love it here, although do be weary as there is not much in the margin for whining or questioning management, its a fun group of people with positive energy but those who like to bring in negativity and enjoy quarreling/laziness are quickly set apart. Besides that theres a lot to enjoy here as our demographic is usually pleasant as are the other employees. Not to mention you make out like a bandit if you're working as a server - especially on the weekends! Cultivates trusting friendships if you go into it with the right attitude.

Management was highly manipulative and toxic. Red flags everywhere. Chef was nice. Coworkers seemed miserable most of the time. Mgmt sabotaged their hosts repeatedly regarding organization and responsibilities, which negatively impacted both front and back of house daily. Management did not seem willing or able to communicate with staff and frequently disappeared when they were needed on the floor. Mgmt repeatedly gave preferential staff members tables, skipping other servers and going out of any semblance of order or logic. They seemed hellbent on causing as much chaos as possible within the “team”.  0 out of 10, do not recommend.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great managers and surroundings.  Great tips and support.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Its not stressful - -I just do my job and show up on time!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great leadership - training is improving for new team members 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
arrive and set up with the checklist I am given - light sidework at the end of the shift.  Managers assist as well which is nice
