Phoebe Ziegler | Assistant Director, Guest Services
"The Manager Development Program with Auberge Resorts taught me how to lead with empathy and fostered my heart for hospitality. Rotating through the departments prepared me for every operational situation I encountered later in my professional development. To this day, I use the tools, advice, and connections I made from my time as a trainee. Confidence in myself and my daily output was an added bonus and an invaluable gift that the program left me with."

Billie Gianoukakis | Director, Guest Services
"I have way too many good things to say about Auberge, but the one thing I can say for certain is if you put in the work, Auberge does recognize that and you will see quick and continuous growth with this company. They not only care about your growth professionally, but also your growth personally. I could not recommend this company enough and starting as an MDP was the perfect start for me. Eternally grateful!"

Ashley Bangle | Talent & Culture Manager
"My first day ever with Auberge was an orientation day. I recall thinking, this is going to be an amazing opportunity to develop myself professionally within an organization that upholds values which align with my own. This program lent me the opportunity to connect with key leaders outside of the Rooms Division and ultimately gain exposure to the Talent and Culture team - which felt like my true calling!"
