The social aspect of the job is undoubtedly one of its strong suits. The environment fosters connections between coworkers and the (very rich) members, making it an enjoyable workplace. The opportunity to interact with various departments adds a dynamic element to the job, allowing employees to broaden their horizons and gain insights into different facets of the organization.

The Childcare and Food Service departments stand out for their excellent management. The managers in these areas are great, respectful, and considerate. This positive leadership creates a supportive work environment.

However, the experience in the Athletic department paints a different picture. Unfortunately, the department predominantly favors men. This issue raises questions about the department's commitment to diversity and inclusion. A big down side was unofficial lead positions. While employees in these roles are expected to take on responsibilities such as managing, conducting new hire orientations, billing, and essentially performing tasks typically handled by management, there appears to be a lack of recognition in terms of compensation and job title. Managers will steal your private lessons to profit themselves. Instructors are expected to create class and camp curriculums, with management taking credit for these efforts. 

A typical day involved dealing with members and staff. Answering many questions and using multiple computer programs. Sorting through many tasks and requests from many different stakeholders.

There was a lot to learn about the history of the club. It's been around for 126 years. There is a waiting list to join that is at least a couple years long. 

Management included a few leaders that were very forward thinking, trusting and motivating. 

The culture is of a struggling small business going through growing pains of becoming a larger business. It is run by a committee system. All major decisions affecting the club go through the board. 

The hardest part of the job was performing at a high level and not being recognized for that. 

The most enjoyable part of the job was the people. My department had the most generous, hard working and kind people. They helped whenever possible. No matter what the request was they would try to help and do it with a smile.

I really enjoy my department and coworkers. Patron interactions are usually positive but not guaranteed across the board. We have a pretty excellent team. 

Management is so so. While professional, they can be lacking in people skills and development. Advancement is limited and my efforts trying to move up was very a disillusioning of experience. HR and IT is way too slow for the size of the company. Some departments experience lots of turnover.

The best recommendation if you are interested in working here part time is work hard but enjoy the perks and don’t put too much of yourself into it.

Full time seems to be a hard beast for alot of people, even with much better pay and perks.

Personally, I enjoyed my time working at the MAC, even though it was just for a summer. Older guests were not always nice or courteous, but many of the younger guests who had kids were very kind. 

While the building is very old, most of the facilities and areas within the MAC are in great condition and well-maintained. 

My co-workers in my department were very fun to work with and some of us are now friends, but some of the other departments were rude towards us when they didn't need to be. They seemed to be miserable working there at times, whether that be a result of the MAC itself causing that or that being their own personality, I'm not sure. (The staff in the climbing room was very rude to us and gave us weird looks anytime we would pass through)

I thoroughly enjoyed working at Multnomah Athletic Club, the only reason that I left was because I moved across the country . Everyone was cool to me there. It is a very big facility , and I worked as a dishwasher in the sports pub. I have to say that as far as dishwasher jobs go, I have done many. This was probably the most pleasant place to be a dishwasher I ever worked at. Another cool thing I noticed was that the management were very proactive to train dishwashers to be cooks at this place.  I had no interest in cooking myself , but could have gotten the opportunity here to do so. 

You have to be able to work in a quasi governmental type setting. My position allowed for some flexibility but not all positions can. It is hard to find the balance to please such a diverse membership. While much more civil than the national political stage you still have those with polar opposite views on how things should be. Most members are respectful, but in a service environment there can be those who are not, and MAC has its share of disrespectful individuals. I was well regarded in my position, but I witnessed many individuals who were not treated well. While some can stay out of the limelight and have a long career at MAC, managers do not seem to last long.

I wish I had something good to say but I really don't. The front desk had a very toxic atmosphere and there wasn't enough training for the multiple software systems they want you to use. I was talked down on and treated with blatant disrespect by everyone I worked with and upper management did very little about it. There seems to be an unspoken rule that you shouldn't voice any concerns you have about the job and if you do it's impossible to get more hours or move up in the company. I really hope they start doing better by their employees and stop ignoring the culture of bullying they allow throughout the club.

Although the pay is fair, this is definitely a white privilege workplace. Diverse management is almost non-existent. There are 9 directors and guess how many are white? Yep that’s right, all of them. There are a number of talented staff that deserve the chance to move forward, but that’s not going to happen. They are blatant about it and don’t care what anyone thinks about it.i personally know a number of employees who deserved a promotion, but were passed up by management for a far less qualified person.

So I applied as a server. They hired me as a supervisor. Which was awsome. A little more pay responsibility and hours. Started great and turned into a nepetistic management fury against the captians and the staff. They change stuff up and expect u to automatically get it. I was sexually harassed and because the person was a friend of one of the managers. It too about a month that i still had to work woth the person. In the end i loved my staff. But the management and dorectors are evil and crooked. I suggest finding somewhere else to work.
