Seasonal/Summer Employment at GTNP

Is there anyone out there that has worked at GTNP? I have applied for the part time-summer-hire position. Will live in RV at their campground. Will work June-Sept? (if offered a position)

I am retired and this is another adventure for me.

I%26#39;m just curious to hear from someone that has ';Been There-Done That, Got-a-Tee-Shirt';...Thanks

Seasonal/Summer Employment at GTNP

We worked at Signal for two years and loved it. It was such a different experience. The only hard part was living in the dorms. If I was able to live in my own RV I%26#39;d probably still be there.

Good luck to you, and have fun!

Seasonal/Summer Employment at GTNP

I know somebody who is interested in doing this too. It seems like I heard of a website or chat room all about working at places like GT or Yellowstone. Has anyone heard of this so I could pass it on?

I worked at Jackson Lake Lodge for a summer in 1998. I have many opinions (good and bad) on the experience, but overall it is a very memorable experience that have given me lots of stories. Some of the pluses...1. Access to all the park has to offer, 2 Cheap lodging/dining, 3 Met many interesting people from all over the world. 4. Made pretty good money serving. Some of the negatives...1. Worked a lot the first few weeks there 2. Rest of the schedule was working 6 days a week (50+ hours a week) 3. Living conditions were a little rough if single 4. Food wasn%26#39;t great....

I have more opinions if you%26#39;re interested in emailing me through the website or posting the specific questions you may have. I would imagine the RV would be a plus to the experience.

Thanks for your input. I have heard the hours are long esp at the opening and closing of the season. I%26#39;ll be outside, so I should be pretty busy. The interviewer/supervisor that I spoke with sounded very upbeat and informative. I thnk the RV will be a good idea and our retreat, ';place of solitude';. I just don%26#39;t understand the thinking behind the $5.50 a day for RV parking when if we lived in the dorms, there is no charge. Oh well. Maybe the food has improved over the years. I was told chow would be $3-$4 a meal. No bad if its%26#39; good food.

Anyone else out there? I%26#39;d love to hear your pros-cons regarding working at the Grand Tetons Lodge Co. Thanks Again.
