Pros

There was truly no pro to this company.

Cons

The most toxic work environment I’ve EVER worked in. Upper management is a joke and incredibly micromanaging and condescending. They will yell at people and belittle them. Absolutely no work life balance. Be expected to have to answer calls/emails/texts at 6 am or 11pm and on weekends. Was absolutely berated for not responding to an email within 5 hours because I was not in town for a 3 day holiday weekend and was told I should’ve have used a PTO day for it if I wasn’t going to be available. CEO and COO lead with fear, manipulation and there’s just flat out weird vibes there. Also VERY high turnover and previous sales reps not getting paid. Don’t let the fancy pretty villas and false promise of making good money fool you - RUN from this company. Traumatically horrible!!!

Cuvee Ventures Response

We were surprised to read this review, as it does not accurately represent the experience or culture of our organization. While we understand that not every role is the right fit for every individual, we feel it’s important to clarify a few points. In the situation referenced, a client was actively looking to book and management was unaware the employee was unavailable, as no PTO or out-of-office notice had been submitted nor was the "off grid" nature of this trip discussed with any team members. In a client-facing luxury sales role, proactive communication about availability is essential so coverage can be arranged and we are always up front with every sales team member about this from day one. We also categorically reject the claim that sales representatives are not paid. Our commission structure is clearly documented and consistently honored based on the Commission Agreement each eligible employee signs. Luxury hospitality is fast-paced and performance-driven, and while that environment is not for everyone, many of our team members thrive within it.

Pros

Working at Cuvee is very exciting with all the luxury homes, destinations, and interesting guests! My colleagues are some of the hardest working people in the industry. Each team and destination collaborates and works diilgently together to provide our guests with a highly personalized curated experience they desire. Our team is very passionate about our product and we believe in the vision. The benefits are good and some extras include traveling to visit the beautiful destinations and villas in our collection.

Cons

It is stressed when interviewing that Cuvee isn't for everyone. It will require some work during the weekends and evenings. The pace can be fast at times but, if you enjoy a challenge, you will love it!

Pros

Absolutely none. This company is wrong on every level you can imagine. Nothing I’ve ever seen in modern business settings. Negative reviews couldn’t be more true and yes, they force employees to write positive reviews, otherwise they would have a one star rating across the board. It’s actually shocking that this business is still allowed to operate. It’s just gross and I really feel sorry for the good folks that get stuck there and are too weak to get out. It’s so sad.

Cons

Non-Stop lies coming out of the founders mouths. Promise of commissions, trips and bonus plans that are based on absolutely absurd and unobtainable metrics. That’s their game they play. Everyone laughs about these crazy plans for being so ridiculous as no one has received said bonuses in years. Thus the revolving door when savvy folks figure out that half of their compensation plan is fake. Owners are continuously verbally abusive to employees in public settings and meetings. An absolutely toxic, demeaning and insulting environment for all employees. The employees that have actually stayed for longer than a few months have accepted a very sick and abusive (battered wife/husband) type relationship with Larry and Susan of being belittled on a daily basis in front of their peers. Like many before have said, if you are considering working for this terrible excuse for a company, save yourself the trauma and just don’t. It’s really that bad.
