Vantaggi
ClubCorp has the potential to be good company to work for again. When I started with them in 2001 the company was family owned and maintained an emphasis on employees and members while still focusing on the bottom line. They were at one time "the best serving the best" but sadly no longer.
Svantaggi
Ever since ClubCorp was sold to KSL and went public they have become nothing more than a bottom line driven & a numbers-oriented company. Rather then viewing their employees as an asset to invest in for the long run, they are treated as an expense that needs to be cut despite the consequences to the members or the events. Their clubs are no longer truly private as they will take anyone off the street willing to pay the dues - regardless of whether or not they can actually afford it. They churn the membership just to push the duesline and meet the membership numbers with no thought to the longevity to the membership. When I started I used to get a yearly raise - once KSL took over I received one raise in 7 years. The BOH and FOH staff are constantly turning over because they realize they can make more just about anywhere else they work. While I know that pay rate and money are only part of what makes people stay at any given company or job, ClubCorp's benefits and perks are just as deplorable as their pay. No matching in their 401(k), extremely high insurance costs for bare minimum coverage. The employee morale was constantly low. It didn't help that our club manager had no idea how to deal with people, was despised by the senior staff, and earned no respect from any of his employees. During the time he was GM the club lost four senior staff and countless hourly employees. To be honest it really disappointed me to see what ClubCorp has become. I felt that the company has changed so much over the 15 years that I worked for them (and not for the better) that I became desperate to find another job.
