Playa Cabana Hacienda

This place has some great staff members, excluding most management. It is unfortunate to see how it is managed or lack thereof as it was a good place to work but is made difficult unless you ignore the list below. This list may come across biased as I was let go, but I do urge anyone thinking of applying here to consider talking to other staff members and looking up reviews.

1. The management favours their friends with optimal shifts, sections and time off.
2. They will penalize you for asking questions about their policies, which are constantly changing.
3. They ignore most opportunities to resolve issues with their employees. 
4. They are completely unprofessional in their scheduling, discipline and choices of advancement.
5. They have a high turnover that speaks to the unprofessional environment there.
6. They increased tip out for servers twice in less than a year and stated that the reason why was for the management to have more incentive.
7. The worst aspect of all this is that they are passive aggressive and hold work shifts hostage as a way to intimidate employees (which sadly works).

In work I Cleaned and organized dishes, and throwing out the garbage 
Learned organizational skills 
workplace culture: we work as a team to finish specific task 
Hardest part: When towards closing time it starts to become over abutment with washing all the dishes, cooks supplies, bars supplies 
Most enjoyable: Socializing and receiving free food

No communication, no training, no protocols. really a burning ship. Like any job of this type the people you work alongside are great but that alone isn't worth the craziness you can endure on a daily basis. Machines don't work, A/C doesn't work, you are left to try and play server and repairman in the middle of a busy service. That's their normal and won't do a thing to change it.

Horrible experience at this job placement, this company still owes me $70 from a pay check and day that they never paid me for. I've been trying to get in contact for almost a year with Manager K and she ignores my calls and emails. Terrible place and she was very rude to her employees

Playa cabana hacienda was my first hospitality job. Working with 25 people is always a great experience, everybody has their own talent and skills and you learn a lot from them and become a better team player.

My days are always busy, good envirnomental place,fun days, talktive place. Each day provide challanges and improve my skills in communications. My worst part of my job are the up and down many time in one day.

Working here was always a blast. The staff was amazing, I learnt so many things about the restaurant industry. This was my first time in a restaurant and Ive pretty much loved it since.

I love working here. There's always something to do so that you're never bored and the time flies by. Management is great and I love my coworkers. It's an all around great place to work

Really great team -- everybody works together. Clientele is generally good, excited for an authentic Mexican experience.

Learned a lot from there, managers are qualified.
Mexican food
Sometimes it's busy there and usually it's a bit hard to manage time while cooking
Have a lot of fun there
