Pros

The island is beautiful but it’s really expensive since it’s a place for most people to go a day or two. It gets boring after a couple of months.

Cons

I’m from Argentina and went to a beautiful island for a work and travel experience. I invested a lot of money into this opportunity, but unfortunately, it turned out to be the worst time ever. The employers were mean, and there was only one chair for about 3 to 4 employees in the entire store. We were expected to work without breaks, and the schedule was horrible. The managers seemed overworked, and there were issues with basic facilities like the air conditioner. We were not allowed to have our phones with us all day, and our tasks sometimes included moving furniture from their houses while on the clock. It felt like we couldn’t enjoy the island because of the impact on our mental health. I worked there for four months, and they were truly the worst months of my life. We couldn’t even hug our coworkers due to strict camera surveillance. If you’re considering working in this place, I would advise against it. It’s genuinely stressful and a real headache.

Pros

This is a company that resides in paradise, and even better that all the businesses are on the beach. Just fantastic.

Cons

There isn't a lot of help on the island. Some residents think that they can use that to their advantage and be lazy at work. But not with us.

Pros

The built-in housing would be great, if it wasn't so mismanaged. It felt like prison. The boss put cameras outside of the housing units and burst in at random times. One time my roommate was in the bathroom and he opened the bathroom door without knocking while she was using the toilet. Didn't apologize. Things like this happened all the time.

Cons

I have had dozens of jobs, and never have I felt so disrespected. The boss not only never learned our names, but didn't treat us like people. Turnover was insane because of how awful the working conditions were. But the management did not care, we were all replaceable to them.
