Living & Working in Great Places

Hey everyone, I'm heading out in June from Rochester NY. I'm excited at the prospect of spending my free time roaming about the wilderness, but a bit nervous that I won't make enough money to pay my bills back home. I was accepted on the Mammoth Springs kitchen crew, but to my knowledge, that's just a general term. Do they decide your job when you get there? How are the summer hours? Do they deduct room and board based on the hours you work each week? Is there a chance to move up the ladder if you seem qualified? I was also wondering if there are any chances to do conservation volunteer work in my free time? So many questions . . . any info would be helpful, thanks, and hope to see you soon!

Hello.

I have yet to goto Yellowstone, but I asked all sorts of questions to the gentleman that contacted me. I do believe that you won't be paying out much money so most of what you make there can be spent on your bills back home. So...it maybe different for you but I think most of this is general:

1.) "Do they decide your job when you get there?" (I was told yes, there may be some shuffling around of jobs depending on the people who show up, the experience of the employees, and the preferences of the employees.

2.) "How are the summer hours?" (Not sure how you mean, explain this question more.)

3.) "Do they deduct room and board based on the hours you work each week?" (Yes, the pay I do believe is every two weeks. So they deduct you room and board and then issue your checks.)

4.) "Is there a chance to move up the ladder if you seem qualified?" (Yes, I was told that there is room for moving up and that they do like to promote from "within the ranks.")

5.)"I was also wondering if there are any chances to do conservation volunteer work in my free time?" (This is a good question, I don't know but I am going to ask myself and I can get back to you.)

There you are, I hope this is helpful.
