Pros

It's a nice view and pretty property. After your 90 days you can stay for 100.00 a night. That's about it.

Cons

Where to begin, management is a nightmare. Self serving and not at all employee centered. Because of this the guest's experience suffers. Most of the employees are unhappy and are vocal about this even to the guests. I've witnessed this on a number of occasions. The employee/management culture is cliquey and judgmental, and there seems to be a lot of favoritism going on. There are no raises, and very little room for growth. I often leave work feeling overworked, underpaid, and under appreciated.

Pros

On the outside, a BEAUTIFUL setting and a wonderful story to tell. The history story, the renovation story, the views! Delightful. An easy place to brag about. Recently, they've had to restructure their loan(s), forcing them to disperse unnecessary layers of middle management, some reassigned to other departments.

Cons

Like so many hospitality destinations, Cavallo is built on the backs of dedicated, hourly employees - mostly underpaid, but those with extraordinary commitments to your happiness. The same people who get burned out and are top of the turnover pile, still find ways to put you first. Love them up! Behind the velvet ropes: draconian hospitality management, punitive practices, archaic business ("that's the way we do it") mentality. While the top of the heap make a decent living, the front-liners who often commute from lands far away essentially subsidize their salaries. For what they charge for the rooms and meals, why are they struggling? As the shine leaves the apple like wear and tear of the rooms, bad practices, etc., the "comps" increase and disgruntled guests can ruin the vibe.

Pros

Loved working in my department. My boss was an expert in her field and awesome about personal needs/vacation time, but she was better than most. Great perks including F&F rate, employee restaurant rate, and spa rate.

Cons

Management is not very proactive about career development, so you'll need to address things yourself.
