The Ivey House is a non-smoking facility and smoking may only be conducted during the employees own time and outside of the facility. Those with visible tattoos and facial/tongue piercings need not apply. All applicants need to have previous experience for the position one is applying for. All employees are on a payroll system and will receive a check once a week with taxes taken out. No benefits are provided to seasonal employees. A drug testing program is in effect for all employees and random testing may take place at any time during employment. No pets, smoking or visitors are allowed in the employee areas. A coin operated washer and dryer is located in the Inn for employee use. NACT does not provide meals, phone, cable, or internet access (Internet access is available at the library located a few blocks away). We encourage all employees to have a cell phone and their own Postal Box. Only emergency phone calls for employees will be accepted at the Ivey House. Other things we recommend you bring are a car, bike, and other things which can help you enjoy your employment with us. North American Canoe Tours and Ivey House is a drug-free workplace and random drug testing does take place. Everglades City is a very small, isolated fishing and crabbing village bordering on the northwest boundary of Everglades National Park . It is a mile round mangrove island and is approximately 30 miles from the nearest town. The closest beaches are approximately 30 miles away Hmmmm, doesn't sound like a hip environment at all.
If you are to hold yourself back because you cannot smoke on property, that is too bad. All business owners have to have some form of guide lines for their employees. As with most employers, they will bend their own rules, so long as the person is productive and good for the company. The company does NOT do randum drug testing, but because of past issues with unproductive, violent staff, they give themselves the right to drug test- and for good reason. They cannot be liable for that behavior. I have many tatoos, infact my back is covered in them. My tongue is pierced, but I am capable to keep it to myself. It does not show when I speak, and that is all they care about. My husband, who is one of the two managers, has the Grateful Dead bears circling his ankle, and yes they show. Their previous manager had dreadlocks down to his waist. Again, they need to have some form of guidelines, due to previous employees taking advantage of when they had NO guidelines. Sometimes, living in an area that is away from your cities, away from your movie theater, your traffic, your streetlights, is a great thing. Being surrounded by 3 different national park systems allows you to explore all that Nature has to offer. There is a different culture in a small fishing village where the population is less than 500. No seasonal job will offer a person benefits. But there are benefits. You get all the usage of kayaks and canoes you want. You have miles of paddling, hiking, camping, in every direction you can think of. If you like club hopping and fine dressing, then no, this is not for you. As a nature lover, I find this atmosphere to be ideal. All day long I talk to people about their chosen camping sites, help them on their paddle routes, and teach them the importance of tides and winds. I get to be surrounded by the thing I love. I can handle walking outside to smoke, or paying for my own laundry.
Look, be realistic, we know that you are out in the middle of no where, don't pay shit, don't include meals, you charge to do laundry, ask that people not have visitors, we can't bring along our dog, we have to smoke cigs off the property, so i assume that if we in fact actually by some chance that we find some pot some where that ya'll will put us up on a stake for smokeing it even on our day off. If our parents want to call us, it is obviously a problem. And in reallity, who else but an unsuspecting tourist would want to go paddling in the everglades, anyone who lives in florida knows damm well there are bad ass gators & snakes, ( and i kid all of ya'll from upnorth not here, i am serious ). So don't fuss with me on this subject here, I know all too well about folks like ya'll & yer employment scams, i bet you even say, " well we start you out at 8 bucks an hour & as time goes on & we see how you do we may give you more", because i have heard it all, seen it all, & have worked with a ton of chefs who have gotten this scam & we are all the wiser. There was a big ass red flag that went up as soon as i read your website.
And i don't even have an addiction with tobacco, so that is not the issue at all, it it the shit attitude of your company.
