The-Los-Angeles-Country-Club

I really enjoyed my time there for the most part.  The membership of the Club were generally very pleasant and I genuinely enjoyed getting to know them and their families and the table side conversations we had about golf and other sports, wine and food, and current events were fun and stimulating.  My coworkers were a lot of fun to work with and there are many employees who had been there for 25+ years.  That number is dwindling though as turnover increases due in part to instability at the top.  There have been many upper management changes over the last ten years I am told and my time there was during a long transitional period.  Things seemed to be stabilizing though when I left.

The downside to all this is that full-time employees have little time to do anything else besides be full-time employees.  Full-time hourly F&B staff are typically on property, though not always on the clock, for close to 12 hours per day 5 or 6 days a week.  Salaried F&B managers typically work 65-80 hours per week.  This is simply unsustainable and unhealthy.

Worked here for 270 days.

Middle Management needs the most improvement. While Top Management is highly unprofessional with their indirect micro aggressions on matters when it comes to their Middle Management being in the wrong.

While working there you can learn, while having some of the coworkers I had try to distract you. One aspect of this place is that you can really go to work for you to work, to learn as well, but you can also brown nose your way through the eight hours.

HR will be smoke in mirrors for you. Any concerns you may have, document as much as you can with timestamps, names, and what was said. Talk with a lawyer about how to move forward.

Other than that, get your money and get on.

The club is unlike any you have worked at. LACC always has events and tournaments going on. As a part of the staff, is expected to do so much more work as well as standards being high. Our membership for the most part is very kind to our staff and that's what makes the club so much easier to be a part of. It is hard to grow and move up within the club. I have seen more senior employees or those who were more worthy of a higher position get passed over for someone else from the outside. You will get a fair amount of overtime so be prepared to work. While free golf and meals are helpful, working at LACC is tough and repetitive. 

incessant bullying from the old employees; some of which have been there over 20 years....management is in a constant state of flux. Highly incompetent. They staff to the bare bones and refuse to help the servers/bartenders when they get weeded due to this lack of foresight...no tipping environment is strictly enforced. people have been fired for taking money. They have no sympathy, whatsoever. They keep you at an average of 28 hours so you cannot go full time and collect benefits. So, when they are really busy and need you, they will slam you with 50 hours one week. Next week they will put you 25 so your average goes down. Sometimes as a server/bartender, you are in charge of an entire room by yourself. 22 tables, no one to help. Incredibly incompetent.

My day at work, consist of setting up table, I arrange spoons, forks, knifes, butter plates, white and red wine glasses and napkins. Sometimes we have to move chairs and tables and breakdown when events end it. I learned how to set-up table properly.  People are efficient and hard working and happy at their job. The hardest part of the job having to change things during the banquet. Sometimes we have to rush to order to meet club member requested. The most enjoyable part of the job is when club members and their guests were satisfied with our service.

Check in with Lead Supervisor, prepare section with polishing and side work. Learn about specials for the evening, prepare a wine and food paring list. Make sure all station are prepared and ready for dinner service. hardest part of the job is standing 6-8 hours on feet. The most enjoyable part of the job is providing a service and experience that is second to none. Creating memories with my guest and my co-workers that will last a lifetime.

Enjoyed my time here. Management is friendly and want to make sure everyone is content. Helpful in learning and making mistakes is okay as long as you adjust. Decent money for the position and the coworkers are usually diverse and versatile. The event staff or extra staffing they bring in can be hit or miss which makes the job more difficult but overall it was a good place to be especially if you're in your 20's/30's. Only big downside was the lack of gratuity as a whole.

A very specific work place for a very specific employee. Change/the acceptance of, is difficult. The work environment is pleasant and there is cohesiveness amongst the employees and managers for the most part. Overall it can be a positive experience for someone with a work history in member owned country clubs.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Getting to know the members and the view. This is a great team!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing stresses me out here. It is well-organized.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The employees really enjoy each others company. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I work a lunch shift and then get an hour break between lunch and dinner.

A solid work environment. Good pay, rough hours, good time frame of getting in and out for heavy traffic times. The country club allows the workers to eat free lunches. It's a lot of work son you're pretty much physically drained at the end of the day.
