Horrible company will sacrifice your personal time and sanity for profit. - Project Manager Collective Retreats Employee Review

Collective Retreats is undergoing an exciting period of growth, which has not only provided incredible learning opportunities but has also enabled us to contribute to the development of unique and captivating retreats. As part of the development team, I've been fortunate to witness firsthand how our projects blend luxury with the natural world, creating unforgettable experiences. Biggest pros include: great people to work with, huge personal growth opportunities, working for a certified Benefit Corporation (B Corp) that has alignment with my morals, and the excitement of working at the forefront of the growing outdoor hospitality industry.

I come from the traditional hotel world, and now I can't imagine going back - Collective has somewhat ruined me in that sense, but obviously the passion I get from working at this company more than makes up for that. Other cons would be that it's a small company, so sometimes you are the only person that can perform a certain role, which can come up with things like vacation time, but from my perspective the positives of working at a small company and getting facetime and knowledge with/from the executive team far outweigh that. Also, if you are the only person that can perform a certain role it's a huge growth opportunity. The value to my career by working at a small growing company far outweighs any negatives.

The staff(not management) really try to make it better.

Management really doesn't care. Multiple times I came in to do the breakfast & the kitchen was a mess. No clean plates or silverware. Rotten fruit in the fridge and we were out of basics like juice or granola. It is a continental breakfast that is essentially just croissants, fruit and granola. For the price of the rooms it is embarrassing. Last week I had no clean bowls so I was grabbing them from a full sink and sliced my hand open on broken glass left by the dishwasher. I bandaged myself up and got the breakfast out and kept working. I told my manager Musa & he didn't care or acknowledge it. Just went to his office. I left early got stitches and noone even asked how I was for my next shift. This was my 3rd and last year. This place is miserable.
