  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes the fam trips were a great opportunity to see venues and get to know full timers and the staff that you deal with day to day at the venues. The other activities involved work nights out and planned social events. The social life is great at Golfbreaks!
