Kelowna Yacht Club

Working at the yacht club was the best in the summer but towards the winter I got almost no shifts. Management is great they may seem tough but all they want is for you to do the best you can. Staff is super nice, it honestly felt like one big family and same with the customers, since it’s a club you see a lot of the same customers and you form a bond with them, i rarely had to deal with any mean customers and most of the time management would deal with them so it wouldn’t put stress on us. If you’re a student they prioritize that you are able to get off work at a reasonable hour for school. they’re super flexible with their scheduling and I had no problems booking days off or calling in sick. Great staff only event days are very stressful and you can expect to stay overtime

Turn around at this place is crazy for a reason. I’ve never had a job with such a high turn around- and it’s for a reason. Management is not what it should be for this establishment. You don’t get paid enough. As a supervisor I made 19.25 and was managing my entire department, helping out with other departments, etc. my pay did not reflect that. Your days off are not days off because you are constantly getting texts about coming in, and other co-workers/management doesn’t respect time off. Working alongside other employees with your position is great, and I’ve made plenty of friends, but overall I had to quit KYC because of management.

The members can be demanding and the management has their hands tied. When management tried to make changes the board fired most of them. Even the members got upset about that and several hundred quit. Tips are really low there too - they are known as the 10% club as that is all you are going to make. The members pay fees to belong and feel they do not need to also tip the staff. 
Pay isn't too bad for many of the positions but the treatment you get is why - they have to pay a little bit more to put up with the hassles.

The management was always very helpful and forgiving the few times I made mistakes. Kitchen staff was nice and very funny. The actual restaurant is very well decorated and the hours were good for the most part until business slowed down in the winter.

Worked ten hour shifts, with no half and hour break. 

You are required by law to provide a half an hour off if your work more than five hours.

You were permitted two fifteen minute, on call, but no half an hour break. Often only received a single break.

The morning shifts are brutal for prep cooks, otherwise that's where they put the useless people. The night shift is insanely demanding for every position. Sometimes the dish doesnt close until 1 am and the head chef changes every couple of months due to how stressful the job is. HR is rude and judgemental and thinks they run the club.

It was very disorganized. Have to be able to know the wine list very well as the members are very pretentious. Honestly not worth the stress levels when it gets busy and management there are not that reliable. Great money though

Worker benefits are available only once a day on days where you are already shifted. This makes it difficult to enjoy ones meal benefit, and also de-incentivizes further use, due to the fact that it cannot be used on days off.

I have enjoyed working at KYC so much I have returned more than once! It's like I never left and everyone, in all areas of the company know my name and are genuinely caring about how I am. Having a flexible schedule is important to me as a parent and I love working here! 

The Members are Amazing however the management Sucks. They do not care about the people who have been there the longest. They are extremely fake. They also go through mangers like crazy. If they do not like you They will not schedule you.
