Lack of management is an understatement! Too many middle managers that have zero capability or power of managing their own department.  Senior management is completely detached from the worker and have no idea what their staff lives with daily.  This place is run by the Egos of the family and nothing to do with a well run resort. 
The "Family" is expected to be treated like royalty while the entry level worker gets paid barely minimum wage. Wages are unfair for the job being worked and raises are unheard of unless you threaten to leave.  And then it's only for what seems to be the employees that barely show or better yet are clearly  CRACK HEADS! 

We had a rotating schedule.  Each day was arranged such that specific areas of each garden were maintained throughout the week.  This was the first gardening job I had where I really learned professional techniques for pruning shrubs and garden maintenance.  I also learned a lot about houseplants and maintenance of individual species.  The management at this company was friendly and considerate of their employees.  The most enjoyable part of this job was the view from the top of the mountain.

A typical day was enjoyable. I genuinely liked working there with peers of diverse backgrounds and learning new skills . I learned how to make different types of food, how to prep for large occasions, as well as how to cook in a brick oven.  The workplace culture was structured, productive, supportive, and respectful. The hardest part of the job was working with the brick oven. It was more of it being uncomfortable with the amount of heat. The most enjoyable part was meeting my colleagues and learning their different perspectives and backgrounds.

Basic cleaner job.  A LOT of vacuuming with a backpack vacuum.  A lot of dusting and cleaning vents daily, when they only need them monthly.  A lot of walking, climbing stairs.  They had one elevator.  I had to clean two sets of stairs, at least once daily.  All supplies were in 5 different locations, mostly on the third floor on the other side of the building.  They had very limited storage space.  No cleaning cart, so you had to make more trips for certain things.  I have problems with my knees, so those stairs just killed me.  I also hate the backpack vacuum with a passion.

I enjoy working here. It challenges me everyday. Employees all get along and typically have fun while working. That being said this place could use some improvement. There seems to be a disconnect between the department managers and their superiors. Higher Ups often make changes in the workplace without knowing how that department is ran. Leaving employees confused and troubled. 

I worked for the von Trapp family for 20 years. My tasks were varied depending on the time of year. The work days were intense, as there was much to accomplish each day. I had frequent contact with guests in my various positions and it was an enjoyable part of my day. The hardest part of the job were changes in climate that sometimes made the outside work uncomfortable.
