This Employer leans heavily towards hiring mostly Spanish speaking  employees.   This was very problematic when having to team up with someone you could not understand   ..  causing difficulty in job completion.  Communication is almost non-existent.  We were expected to complete  an extremely heavy work load without adequate compensation every day.  I went home aching most days.  The chance of voicing our overload of work was ignored and unimportant.  Just do it, even if it's impossible. We couldn't even think about a 15 min.  break If we  hoped to finish our daily duties.   I had no idea, until my employment ended , that the pay level was much lower than what other people were making elsewhere .  I also found out that my yearly raise, was withheld due to the Director not informing the appropriate department, even though my evaluation was satisfactory.  As if the money was coming from their own pocket. Just didn't report it.   Job comes with many abrasions.

Great overall experience. I definitely was able to utilize my skills and advanced rather quickly in the 18 months that I was employed there. The equine and hospitality dynamic takes some getting used to. There are a lot of moving parts in operating a facility of this size. The executive managers on both sides were some of the most talented and knowledgeable leaders that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I was free to be creative in my position and my decisions were fully supported by my director.  I am still excited to see what the future holds for WEC. The company has a good foundation for its workplace culture however it needs to be further developed. 

The upper management get upset at you if you clock in a few minutes early and will fire you if you are ever late with even picture evidence of why you are late. And when you call out, they will act like its the biggest crime you can do and basically throw a tantrum, even when you are very sick and cant move much and tell them that. And no matter how much overtime you put in and hard work you do, you more than likely wont get recognized for it. People have been told they are getting a promotion, then dont ever talk about it again until you bring it up to them. Things are heard through the grapevine here. It hardly ever gets told to you by management. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
the people you work with make the job an experience to remember.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Upper managements lack of hands on help and failure to follow through on commitment.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The ideas are good but seldom get followed through on.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work,work  and more work.It could be stream lined to be more effective but it falls short .

Rapidly growing corporation that offers opportunity for advancement if you are willing to work hard and commit to the company. Large team with huge variety of available roles. Exciting day-to-day with events and horse shows on property. Growing pains as company fills positions and establishes operations and processes, but to be expected in a new organization. Fun to be a part of the team and help create something extraordinary in Ocala. 

Everyone treats the employees very good a very excellent place to work highly recommended for anyone looking for any type of work ! 🌞 very exciting and get to work different duties and the public is wonderful to work with and your employer is always concerned with your being and status making sure you are equipped  🌟 !. We are always supplied with the tools we need and materials are always at hand our fellow workmates work together well as a team ! 👍 !.

Not a healthy place to work at. A lot of favoritism, too much gossiping and don’t expect to get appreciated for the hard work you do or going above and beyond.  No work life balance. They think they own you and everything you do on your personal time. Promotions are to the people that they can control. The pay is a joke and the raises are 10-15 cents if that. 

WEC Ocala is a growing complex with a lot of opportunity for career growth within the same location. Even now, there is a new hotel and free-standing restaurant being built. Upper Management is very supportive and willing to teach you everything they know. A lot of hard work.

This place was the definition of "same stuff, different day".  Nothing ever changed for the better. Only for the worse. During "slow season" especially, which I didn't realize was a thing until we were in the middle of it and everyone started leaving or stopped showing up because they were only scheduling people 6-8 hours a week. No organization whatsoever from any management. It was a free for all and I hated going to work here when I ended up on the schedule. 

At first the money was worth it, but the environment changed dramatically within the last 2 months of working at Yellow Pony inside the hotel. Disrespectful management, unproffesional HR, favoritism, DISCRIMANTORY. If you're in with the Robert's family or anyone in management you're fine. You'll even be promated within a few months even if unqualified and unprofessional!! Overall, bad work environment,and the paychecks are ALWAYS messed up.
