If you like to work long hours, this place is for you. Typical days are often 15-16 hours, with no regular scheduled breaks, (I usually squeezed in 20 minutes here, 30 there) at least 6 days per week. The pay is abysmal, benefits include room and board and medical reimbursements if you're lucky. If you're struggling with alcohol, don't apply, part of your job is to entertain guests at the bar, and they WILL offer you free drinks, and it is impolite to refuse.
I learned how to interact with people from all around the world in informal settings. When you sit down to dinner with a family from Brazil one week, then a family from Germany the next, you really begin to realize that no matter the superficial differences of language, skin color, or place of origin, all people are essentially the same.
Co-workers are an interesting bunch with diverse backgrounds and fantastic stories. It will be hard not to make close friends, even significant others. Unfortunately, the company moves people around faster than chess pieces, so your best friend for the past two months might get shipped out to a resort 2000 miles away with 48 hours' notice.
Management is hit-or-miss. The higher-ups in the resort, the folks that have been with the company for 10 years or more, are excellent and know what they are doing. They are the ones who make you feel a part of something wonderful. However, most of the Chiefs of Service (middle management) seem pushed to their breaking point, especia
The only reason that I took the time to apply and interview with Club Med is because the specific Indeed job posting listed the compensation as 35-40K. I believe this was an intention fabrication in order to generate online interest and draw applicants to their "business". After wasting several days of my time to obtain a video chat (FaceTime) interview with an official Recruiter, I eventually learned that the listed compensation numbers where not only false, but grossly out of line with market reality. I was offered a six day a week, 12-16 hour day, highly technical and demanding position, for a salary of $1000.00 per month. A rate that represented less than a third of the posted compensation, and if accepted would have had me "earning" between $2.60 and $3.47 per hour on average.
I believe this company purposely seeks a staff of largely inexperienced and youthful interns as opposed to hiring regular employees. This is a business model that smacks of exploitation and is designed to retain profits while obtaining a powerless and expendable workforce. Club Med is worth $1.6 Billion, and it's parent company generates $16.4 Billion in revenue, with $93.1 Billion in assets, with profits around $2 Billion.
It is more than probable that their questionable employment practices have more to do with their financial success than their all inclusive resort offerings, and their guest's patronage.
I do not doubt that internationally this company provides workers with earning poss
Professional and friendly workplace with a great staff performing a much needed service for customers.
A typical day at work started with me setting up the store for the day and making sure everything was clean and stocked. Once we had the store open I would make sure all customer information had been imputed and updated. Throughout the day I would keep inventory stocked while helping customers find exactly what they needed as well as educating them on the product. Before I left the store I would do a full inventory count and would order more if necessary.
My staff was just a pleasure to work with, really friendly people who were knowledgeable about the products in the store.
The staff and I were always learning new things having to keep up with the advancements in the medical industry.
The hardest part of my job was hearing some of our customers personal problems with loved ones and their own medical issues. The only other difficulties were making sure all employees were happy with their schedules while trying to also make sure it didn't interrupt with their school schedules or personal life.
Definitely the most satisfaction I receive from working here is helping out customers to find the perfect things to help them with their medical issues. I absolutely loved it when a customer would come back and tell me how much I helped them by educating them on the products and finding them the perfect one.
ProsWas so close to alot of very great resturantes and was a very relaxing inviroment.
ConsReally had no time for a break or even to eat your lunch, just had to push thru the day.
Being the main source of information for French speaking guests was quite gratifying. As a long time resident of Port St Lucie, I was able to inform and assist guests with their excursions, focusing on the local area as well as Miami and Orlando.
The most enjoyable part of the job was to help the guests choose their excursions, translate for them regarding all aspects of their vacation and provide them with an above and beyond customer service experience.
A typical day at work consisted of welcoming all the guests, informing them of all the excursions and rates. Assisting with the translation of website, responding to all inquiries, setting up the transportation, contacting guides, airboat captain, boat rides. Staying up to date on all the events in the area as well as translation of all material relevant to the excursions office. Accounting of all sales, daily reports, maintaining all information on an excel spreadsheet used for all sales, communications with guests and contractors. I was also responsible for the training of new employees with a strong emphasis on organization and excellent customer service skills. Multitasking was a key element of the job as well as anticipating all the guests desires.
The hardest part of the job was the numerous changes in ownership of the excursions office which created a lack of stability.
ProsFrench speaking, using my language as an asset
very interactive work place also very team friendly
My daily duties here consisted of tending to well over 800 guest a day along with seating them ,removing dishes from tables , assisting them with what ever it was that they needed, and to smile while doing it :).
I was also required to gather and place all the utensils and materials needed to set up both lunch and dinner tables in a timed period.
During the serving ,resetting and or bussing task we were also required a separate task as well everyday. Weather it was keeping ice inside the soda machine cleaning the runner stations or making sure the whole restaurant(1000 seats total) had water pitchers out and ready it was your daily responsibility.
before i was a server i was a steward. There it was my responsibility to have the dishes washed and ready conveyor belt style. This job also had janitorial requirements of keeping the building clean and sanitized
In my opinion the management was poor due to not having enough team members on the floor during events, managers comming and leaving, not being prepared for large groups until they came, and overall planning. However these slight downfalls were enough to motivate me to try harder and to do what needs to be done.
For those of you that can work while being intoxicated for the last 24 hours, I applaud you. However, that's not something I want to do, I seperate work from play, and always understand who my bosses are. On this island, it's not so easy to do that. I was the only "serious" cook in the kitchen. I never showed up to work drunk or haven't slept yet, nor have I ever not performed my duties to the best of my abilities. Yet, this 'resort' was all about fun and games. Each night, there are new guests coming and going and all they see is parties when they leave, and parties when they came. Not to say that I'm a drab, but I could not keep up with the parties and the entertainment like my co-workers. Management's job was to keep the guest entertained and to make sure the employees were entertaining them. Because it's such an exotic location, the flight cost a lot, and they provide housing, the monthly salary was a mere $1234.00 for six days of work, at 10 hours days. I would not go back to Party Island.

Amazing experience meeting and working with people all over the world
The past 6 years I have been working for Club Med. What was suppose to only be a 6month getaway turned into 6 years of life long lasting experiences I will never forget. I worked in over 8 different countries and learned about other languages and cultures. I managed the Events team as well as the Sports team which was a great experience. The unique this about this All Inclusive Resort is that the staff got to engage with all the guests. The concept was for us to eat meals with them throughout the day and of course entertain them at night with different shows. It is truly one of a kind and to be a part of such an amazing organization has made me open my eyes to anything and everything. This is a great company and I will never forget my 6 years with this company that has made me who I am today. I look forward to sharing my experiences with Club Med and the Skills I have learned and bring it to my next adventure in life.
ProsFree room and board, free food, free drinks, health benefits
If you are between the age of 21-30 this is a great escape from reality. It's as if your on an Island and nothing else matters. The job of a GO starts the moment you leave the Employee quarters and end when you return. Most day start at 7:30 am and do not end until 10:30 - 11 pm. Of course you have your two meal breaks during the day but you are responsible to wake up early enough for your first meal. You get to interact with the guest and join them for meals. It's a really laid back feel but do not think you are on vacation with activities you must participate in all day you do not have time to relax. From Kids activities to dance shows to hosting poker tournaments to dancing the night away with the guests. Your job is a social entertainer and only objective "is to make the people dreaming" - Lionel Pirotte, CDV.

Also was forced to hire persons from various family islands which added diversity to the team on many levels.
Most of the time spent at the Club not much time for personal life. However, not a major problem.
ProsPosition guaranteed three meals a day and opportunity to attend Club guests functions
Great experience to meet new people and work in a multicultural enviroment
In general, I loved this company because of the people I met. They are my friends of the life. When you are alone working outside, especially in the village as a GO, people arounds you are like your own family. That's why I believe in so much that this place bring lots people with similar personality. Outgoing, friendly, willing to help, happiness, every positive words you could think of.
However, there's always pros and cons. Unfortunately, the world has been changing but not the company. Salary, benefit not changing, management not changing, organization not changing. This is a company with more than 70 years history, however, the ideas are still cut and dried, doesn't want to change, same old issues happening again and again, which is a pity.
Prosfriendly people, travel around the world, FOC to most of the resorts around the world
1ère et dernière expérience Club Med
J'ai commencé le 20 novembre 2015 à Valmorel par une formation de femme de chambre au sein du Club Med mais rémunéré par Pôle Emploi. Je suis arrivée le 1er décembre à Méribel avec deux autres filles de ma formation. Nous étions toutes les trois novices. On nous a demandé de préparer les deux hôtels, soit une centaine de chambres dont une dizaine de suites. Les chambres datent des années 90, donc que des vieux meubles en bois, des miroirs partout, et des lits à 40cm du sol. Ce Club n'ouvre pas ses portes l'été. Les chambres étaient vraiment toutes très sales !
Quelques jours après, deux autres femmes de chambre sont heureusement arrivées afin de nous aider. Elles étaient censés arriver que pour l'ouverture du Club le 20 décembre. Heureusement que notre responsable leur a demandé d'arriver plus tôt sinon je ne sais pas comment on aurait fait pour que les chambres soient prêtes à temps. Bref la saison commençait mal, nous étions déjà fatiguées et cassées avant l'arriver des clients !
Et ça ne sait pas arrangé puisque toute la saison nous avons été en sous effectifs, entre 5 et 9 selon les semaines (démission, licenciement, arrêt maladie, accident de travail) au lieu de 11 pour être au complet. Nous avions donc parfois 19chambres à faire par jour au lieu de 12. 19 chambres pas du tout ergonomiques ! On nous donnait même les chambres G.E et G.O à faire en plus ! Enfin seul ceux qui ne disaient rien avait à les faire ! Oui oui car ceux q
As soon as my alarm snooze for the second time, that's the time I will have drag my self out from my comfortable bed and go to work. Unlike the company in the city, if your work start at 9am, you will probable wake up at 7am, get ready in 30 minutes, jam in the traffic for one hour before you reach the work place.
Club Med Guilin is a beautiful place to work , from my bed room to my office is 15 minutes by walking, 5 minutes via bike. and on the way to my office, I will pass by a very unique scenery with green grass, flowers, the sound of bugs singing in the park, and fresh air, which you will not get it in the city.
The skills that I learned in this company are the skills that I can used for the rest of my life. how wonderful is it in your daily routine if someone come to say" hi how are you, how is your day? are you ok". it could be just a mere pass by conversation, but it feels good that someone actually notice you or care about you. The multicultural environment in this company is the best atmosphere that I ever had in my life by far, which I had learned to respect the values from different country, the language and the communication. have you ever see any general manager or operations director will pop into your office and ask about your day? have you ever have a drink with your general manager or CEO of the company at the bar and talk about something non-work related issues, I think it only exist in this company.

excellent place to learn and meeting people in professional way but still fun
My working experiences mostly in the hospitality, and the place that i work has really unique concept of working environment.
we have to be proactive to the customer and have to be friendly and being their friend in professional way.
a typical day at work is really casual but in professional package,
still need to have high quality of grooming but show how your personality is the most important.
focusing on business part without forget about high services that we provide.
I learned so much things there, from Retail knowledge in detail until meet new people all around the world,see how the differences is apply in the world, how to handle the complain with multicultural customer, and the important is learn how to respect each other.
I have really kind Management, provide the staffs to learn about their service or even cross training to the other service. it's really help us to develop our self wider that only inside the box.
Multi nationality of the staffs make this company is reach of friendliness and put respect on the top of everything. Somehow is not easy to work with people who has completely different background but at the end of the day, it is beautiful to understand the different point of view in each person.
as they expect us to be multi task person, somehow is not easy when it come to the part that we never done that before in our life.
for example, we need to do the show even though we're not professional dancer, therefore it could be good point

Carico di lavoro scarsamente proporzionato alle ore, vita privata inesistente, stipendio basso
Oltre a quanto citato in sintesi, qualsiasi mansione si svolga si è tenuti a fare vita da villaggio, pranzi, aperitivi e cene con i clienti che spesso non ti vogliono sentire rischiando così di non poter neppure usufruire del vitto (se non ti vuoi prendere cazziate, si intende) che, almeno quando ci sono stato io, veniva detratto dallo stipendio; poi tra le varie cose anche assistere ad arrivi e partenze dei clienti a volte anche a notte fonda. Certamente ogni azienda ha la sua politica, ma se volevo fare queste cose mi candidavo direttamente come animatore. Aggiungerei altresì che neppure il giorno off è libero fino in fondo poiché devi in ogni caso seguire il dress code previsto per la giornata ed essere a disposizione dei clienti che vogliano farti domande, altrimenti non puoi andare in giro per il villaggio e a meno di non trovare un collega off come te automunito che voglia portarti a fare un giro con sè devi restare chiuso in camera dove peraltro alcuni operatori non prendono ed è facile che se vuoi fare una telefonata si debba uscire fuori (quindi privacy pressochè pari a 0). Personalmente ritengo che il giorno off dovrebbe essere giorno off e punto. Io parlo in base a quella che è stata la mia esperienza, non so se nel frattempo qualcosa sia cambiato, ma data la tipologia di villaggio e la politica abbastanza comune nelle varie strutture mi sembra molto difficile. Bisogna tenere conto che non si va a fare soltanto quello per cui ci si candida, che di tempo per sé non
