Rosewood Hotel Group

If you are looking to break into fine dining/high volume/resort setting/Michelin starred work, Rosewood Hotel at Sand Hill is a great place to get your foot in the door. 
That being said, there are very high standards and expectations for all kitchen staff, especially if you work dinner service at the Michelin-starred Madera Restaurant; 8+ hour shifts, limited prep time for production and getting stations set for service, adapting to a constantly rotating seasonal menu, highly consistent plating and preparation of mise en place, not to mention very finicky guests with unusually simple tastes in food and beverage accustomed to a "the customer is always right" atmosphere, etc.
There's also the usual criticism and reprimands from the EC/CDC/Sous chefs, which can range from scolding, to screaming and swearing, and in extreme cases, being sent home for the night. Another annoying thing I observed at Rosewood is they tend not to promote from within the company, so unless you're applying for a leadership role, do not expect to move up from your current position.
Overall, if you're looking for a no-drama low stakes job with a steady paycheck, this ain't the place for you. But if you're serious about the culinary arts and looking to take your career to the next level, you'll enjoy the challenge of Rosewood Sand Hill.

I have been working at Rosewood Hotels & Resorts full-time (More than a year)
Pros
I have been working for Rosewood Abu Dhabi a little over a year now. What drew me to Rosewood Hotels and Resorts and the property was the essence of the brand and the passion for nurturing relationships reflected on the website. To date, I have not been disappointed! The associates are passionate about providing the highest level of customer service to every guest and members of the leadership team are also committed to providing a positive culture through training, teamwork and having fun. This in turns allows for an environment where associates feel like they are part of a family. It has been a pleasure to work for an organization that values people, personal growth and development and allows me the opportunity to work alongside associates who continue the tradition of service and excellence this property is known for.

Working as a front desk agent at Rosewood Abu Dhabi was honestly one of the best experiences in my hospitality career so far. The training was solid, and management actually cared about helping us deliver service that felt personal, not robotic — we were encouraged to remember guest preferences and treat every check-in like it mattered. The team had each other's backs, and I picked up skills in luxury service standards that I still rely on now.

That said, the job wasn't easy. Shifts during peak season were brutal — we were often short-staffed at the desk while trying to juggle check-ins, phone calls, and guest requests all at once. Scheduling flexibility was also limited, so work-life balance took a hit more than once. Still, dealing with such a diverse mix of international guests pushed me to grow fast, and looking back, it gave me a strong foundation for a career in luxury hospitality.

We are passionately interested and involved in the world around us and all those who cross our paths. We reach out to guests and each other with sincerity, warmth and joy. We believe that each life is made of many journeys - inspiration, wonderment, commerce, curiosity, or the simple joy of discovering something new everyday. Joining Rosewood is not just joining a company, but a culture. An enrichment culture where one is inspired to look at life as a living canvas of limitless possibilities. A culture where we are impassioned to create indelible memories each and every day, for ourselves, for each other and for our guests. If you are Intuitive, Refined and Engaging, we treat each other with the love of an extended family.

Don’t take the attendant role, and go serve at another establishment. Only work in the pool and beach department as a bartender. As a pool attendant, you are responsible for maintaining towels and seating along the pool deck and beach, along with running food and bussing. Poor compensation and tip pool system. Varied and menial job duties. Management will misguide and take advantage of you, and most staff don’t seem to appreciate working here. Go work at another restaurant/bar unless you really need to have a career in hospitality or you are an 18 year old with no experience. 

Great 2 weeks training sessions. The on going construction  of the canal and bridge totally ruined everything. Didn’t have a solid plans when it comes to serving drinks and food at the rooftop. 
Great employees meals, however, the employees room is very tiny and literally you’re sitting next to unisex employees bathrooms and you constantly can hear people flushing while you’re eating. Amazing right? 
Also, we all were underpaid. 
Worked there from spring 2019-Winter 2019

Working with CordeValle, a Rosewood resort, I've learned a lot about customer service. CordeValle not just provides the best facilities but also an unforgettable experience by building a heart-to-heart relationship with our guests. I've learned to provide service for guests from different backgrounds, different cultures and speak different languages. I learned to provide a service not just satisfy the needs but a service that is more than guest's expectation especially most of them are very experienced travellers. The working experience with CordeValle helped me to developed my work skills.

Management is terrible at handling issues in the workplace. The managers don't care about the emotional well-being of their employees. If you are not white male, they will definitely cast your issues or opinions aside. Hopefully, as time goes by they handle this. On the positive side, their benefits are descent, most employees are great, the food is amazing (including staff food), and the pay is terrific. What you have to ask yourself before you work there is if it is worth working there if you are going to be put down and emotionally abused everyday....is it??

The title says its all toxic, more negativity then positive atomosphere and a lot of cliques. The work shifts can be quite long and overwhelming, especially when you are short staffed. Upper management gaslighting is a constant theme. It seems this company only cares about the way we look, and not how we feel. Very disingenuous upper management really hard to take there word.

Recommend corrective, good management, free housing, free shift meal, professional training, good cultural and supportive. Business. Use relevant experiences. Don't reference individuals who are not public figures of the company.
Describe your opinion on what you liked or disliked about the company. You may include suggestions for how the company might improve.
Write clearly and focus on the company’s overall working environment and culture.
Write truthfully and accurately. Your content should be purely your own opinion.
