r/SeasonalWork

(F24) I know finances is a touchy subject for some people, but I’m post grad trying to see what options there are for me lifestyle wise. I hate corporate, 9-5 life lol and can’t see myself being happy in one place forever. I have 5 years of administrative and hospitality experience, but due to life circumstances I’ve posted about previously I’m having trouble gaining my footing doing this whole adult thing. Feel free to DM to chat as well :)

Edit: I also currently work in the photography industry and would love to hear about anyone traveling doing creative roles.

Is there anyone that has worked in the Yellowstone Lake and lodge hotel side that can describe how the dorms will look? Having a bit of anxiety of the amount of roomates that'll be crammed in one space! Thanks <3

Anybody else headed to Canyon May 5th for Xanterra check-in??? Who else is driving cross country? Headed in from NH. Say Hi ❤️

Starting my third season here at YNP. I know a lot of negatives are thrown around when talking about Xanterra but personally I have enjoyed my time here.

This season we are really short staffed in our kitchens! So much so that the company has doubled the referral bonus for kitchen staff from $350 to $700!

Feel free to DM me to use the referral or with questions.

A little context: I'm a 40 y/o man with a college degree and military background. Lifetime hiker and backpacker with transportation and no problem relocating. I'm familiar with coolworks and the major companies. I'd welcome any advice from anyone as to expectations and best practices. Thank you, and feel free to DM if you have any specific insights!

About to head out for training and have a few questions regarding region selection, day to day and free time. Would love any and all input!

This will be my 3rd summer doing seasonal work and I'm trying to find my forever home. (Harder than I thought it would be) 2 summers ago I worked at a smaller hotel on Mackinac Island and 80% loved it, great housing, wonderful Island, just low pay. Last year I served on Put-in-Bay and absolutely hated it. The owners were crazy/racist to some of their over seas hires, housing was disgusting and old, the island was just a huge frat party, and the restaurant was not busy at all. I was making more money working at Buffalo Wild Wings the winter before back home. 😒

This year I found a serving job at The Old Club on Harsens island in MI, it's a member's only yacht club. I'm wondering if anyone has worked there or know anything about it. I don't see any mention of them on here or really anywhere, which could be a good or bad thing. Has anyone ever worked at a private club? I haven't and it worries me a little on how busy it will really be. I've been serving pretty much 13 years, I'm 43 years old, I'm hoping to find a place that I can make decent money and be a good fit. Aren't we all though? 😂

Any insight on this particular place or working for a private yacht club would be helpful. Good luck this summer!

Another advice post…but has anyone worked at Terramor Outdoor Resort in Maine (glamping)? It seems to be only a few years old and I can’t find much online about it in terms of employee reviews.

Thanks in advance!
