The Olympic Club

My work day consists of answering phone calls, checking in member/guests for tee times and taking care of my personal accounts that service the membership.
I have learned excellent customer relation skills, shop management and specialized accounts that service The Olympic Club.
Management at The Olympic Club was very professional and understanding. They required the highest standard for their employees to provide excellent service to the members and their guests.
My co-workers were very respectful and provided quality service to The Olympic Club. They were always aware of situations in the shop or on the golf course to make everyone's experience enjoyable.
The hardest part of the job was making sure all the members and guests were happy when they checked in on a very busy day. I never like making people wait and I want to start their day off with a smile.
The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing the members and guests really enjoying themselves at one of the most beautiful golf courses in the world. I always enjoyed being a part of their experience.

After only working at The Olympic Club for 3 months I came to realize why so many people I met where either resigning, or very unhappy. There is a culture of complacency & being that it is a union property the management that exists does little to nothing to improve he standards. Many people who have been hired are referred to positions thru friends who work at The Olympic Club & progress is measured more thru the politics, than actual work. My 30 day review was given late, by a new manager who had yet to even pass his own 90 day review. I have years of management experience yet it was not valued & when I tried to address issues I was told several times to "pick & choose my battles." Issues such as over serving, employees drinking on the job, lack of respect & professionalism towards management were tolerated which is completely unacceptable. There are a few extremely talented individuals who stand out, such as the Chef de Cuisine & the culinary team of Article III, or the Athletics Manager but otherwise it was a very odd, uncomfortable place to work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Cutting age technology with big budget to spend on IT specific projects

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No formal training for new technology or products, micro-management and no additional outside resources for support.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Lots of work ability to learn, if you are self motivated

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work on projects, provide support to helpdesk work with other team mates in support or projects. Need to be able to prioritize, if a fire comes in you need to be able to pivot from scheduled or anticipated work to that mind set of putting out fires. Strict guidelines to SLA and Change order requests and follow throughs. If not adhered you will most likely be reprimanded

I enjoy working in my department. It's generally not a super fast paced environment, so you can find time to create your own projects or find stuff to help with. Managers as a whole want to help staff and advocate for them. If you want career advancement, you just need to be vocal about asking for opportunities and wanting to move up. If you don't find opportunity, then it's at least a great name to have on your resume and good experience.

What is the best part of working at the company?
good company. great place to work at. wonderful golf courses with great views and vista. Golf professionals were great to work with.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It was very cold and would have like to have been able to play the course more often. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
it was fine however I'm no longer with the company

If you need extra money and looking to pick up extra hours this is a good opportunity. However, management positions or should be a bit more diverse. 

They do offer a great medical and dental plan, its one of the best I've see in a long while.  The retirement though can not be activated until you have completed 5 years of service.

A different type of work environment, which allowed me to learn about the many different departments within a Golf and Country club. Enjoyed working with my co-workers, as we all aimed for the same goal.  The hardest part of the job was working long hours and holidays.  The most enjoyable, being part of a Historic Club.

Great place to work and learn new skills. This is not a place for slackers, managers cut out ANY people that seem to fall below expectations. Most employees have made the Olympic Club their career, great benefits but they sometimes fall short when it comes to respectable communication and effective collaboration; servers are competitive, superiors bark orders, the usual.

Management at the Olympic is dishonest and disorganized. 
Communication is unclear, expectations change without notice,   
staff concerns are often ignored, creating a stressful and unprofessional work environment. 

Overall i love working here. The commute is getting to be a bit much but I do enjoy the company. Everyone works together, there is only 4 or 5 managers. We get to use the facilities. We have weddings every Saturday and guest evens daily.  We do from 200 to 2000 a day. great company to work for.
