Pros

- Nice place to humblebrag to friends and family - Still growing so it's possible to develop and get promoted within the Salamander brand (extending to Tryon in North Carolina soon) - Though there are issues behind the scenes, the guests usually don't feel it and experience a positive time at the resort. - High volume of business year-round

Cons

- Still focused on making return and therefore business trumps all, as opposed to the relaxed, generous atmosphere of more established luxury hotels. - Understaffed, high turnover due to poor management in some departments - Because of location, many employees are young and inexperienced when it comes to luxury hospitality and sometimes, unfortunately, common sense

Pros

Really felt like family working for Salamander, and the financial compensation is definitely worthwhile.

Cons

There will be slow seasons and busy seasons, but that is quite common for any career in hospitality.
