Pros
• Great networking – Opportunity to build relationships with club members and event guests, which can lead to valuable personal or professional connections. • Scenic work environment – Beautiful oceanfront/golf course setting makes shifts more enjoyable. • Team camaraderie – Often a tight-knit staff, especially during big member events and tournaments. • Tips can be strong – Private club members often tip generously, especially during banquets or high-end functions. • Event variety – Work ranges from casual dining to large private events, so no two days feel the same. • Skill development – Improves multitasking, customer service, and problem-solving skills—transferable to many industries. • Flexible scheduling – Shifts may accommodate school, sports, or other commitments.
Cons
• Physically demanding – Long hours on your feet, carrying heavy trays and setting up events. • Weekend & holiday work – Most events happen during peak social times, so time off can be limited. • High-pressure moments – Busy banquets or member-guest tournaments can be stressful with many last-minute requests.
