Relais & Châteaux

Never can any relationship flourish without trust. My contract did not exist. The owners did not believe in contracts. They believed in trust. I also believe in trust. We entered a verbal agreement which was never honored. The elements we agreed upon changed upon the owners financial and personal needs. The owners are incredibly difficult to work with and have little to no organizational skills. Cluttered work areas were constantly being filled up with their mess. Employees are expected to accommodate the owners needs without reciprocation. Personal needs are dismissed as “not how we do things” and threats of finding “the right fit” were constantly used. Seemingly nice Christian people but further investigation shows that is not the case. The owners personal needs always come before employees. As an employee, you know your job is secure during the season, but as soon as they no longer need you they feel no guilt about cutting everyone loose. When personal financial needs are broached, watch out to be negotiated into the poor house. 

A typical day at work meant sitting at a desk, answering the phone, helping with reservations, carrying luggage to people’s rooms and supporting the front of house. They didn’t allow the staff to use the bathroom on the first floor. 
I don’t think I learned anything while I worked for a Relais & chateau property that I could transfer to another job. There wasn’t any upward growth opportunities within the location I specifically worked at. 
Training was nonexistent. Culture was dated and degrading. I felt baited and switched into a mediocre desk job that pays below average for the area. Facility advertises itself as luxury but some of the suites are actually
In the basement and guests complain about it. Management was unprofessional
And avoidant.  

The Hotel Fauchere is a wonderful Boutique Hotel located 75 miles from New York City. There are two outstanding restaurants ( The Bar Louis and the Delmonico Room.) Customers are warm and friendly and typically coming to the Hotel to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Most if not all are appreciative, kind and generous.
Hotel Fauchere located in the charming the village of Milford Pennsylvania. There are outstanding hiking trails close by with waterfall destinations as well as the scenic Delaware River for rafting and canoeing..

Truly a wonderful place to work, live and play !!

This is a beautiful place to work inside and out. Staff, management, location and services are all top tier in my opinion. Getting a chance to experience this resort after a major remodel, while still working out a few kinks, was a wonderful experience and if I did not relocate out of state, I would have been happy to continue working for this company.

I'm a hospitality majored student, so I'm quite passionate about Relais & Chateaux concept. Ocean House is well known in the R&C chain, and you get to experience the high luxury sector. The Rooms Director is kinda mean, and management doesn't really care about your career advancement. You can't really grow within the hotel either, cause the people that work there stay for ever. Get your experience then move on! 

Management is extremely stiff and unfriendly.  They talk down to you.  Your employees are not slaves, and you are not of high class.  People who come from money don't have to work for others, they actually are the owners.  Therefore, you are no better than the rest of us employees.  Obviously, you didn't grow up with a silver spoon in your mouth.

It was a great place for the area it is located. A lot of ways to learn, management could be a little inconsistent. Not too open for promoting within or offering any training to the staff. Overall once you're there for a while the job becomes a decent place to work because you can have great people to work with.

Was once a very pleasant work place but change in management has caused a quick downhill spiral. Multiple upper management positions have resigned and the positions have not been replaced, showing current staff that there is no longer room to grow, thus making it time to move on.

An organization with a truly remarkable brand and service to compliment. Just like the guest traveling on their "route de bonheur" the employee feels equally comfortable as they develop on their road to happiness both personally and professionaly.

This Company has gone through some changes lately and it needs to settle down and get organized. The restaurant is owned by a different entity, therefore, the communication is not it's strength.

It is a beautiful property and the owners really care about it. It is a greatplace to work. The people are friendly.
