As far as pay goes, I found that Xanterra's pay was lower than other companies with NP contracts. I found a job in Tetone NP, close to Yellowstone, and the pay was higher. Housing, dorm or rv site, this year is included, no extra cost. EDR is $70/week if you want to buy it, you can opt for coupon book if you don't plan to eat there 3x a day.
So glad you put this positive angle on employment with xanterra! I had a positive 2017 summer working at Geyser Grill (which I had heard from folks there was the worst job to get) that got busy and hectic at times but as you said, it was for the experience working in a national park. So...... if it's bearable at the "Grill" , it's a snap elsewhere!
I worked at OFI in ‘03 and ‘04! I had so much fun but it wasn’t because of Xanterra. The pay was shit but it was Yellowstone.. lots of adventures, great people.. crazy ones too 😂... lots of great memories!
Hey! I just posted a similar video on my channel. I worked for Xanterra in Canyon Village and LOVED it! I was a waitress in the Canyon Lodge dining room in 2015, that is so crazy we worked in the same village! I love to hear other peoples stories working in the park. It's such a unique experience and definitely a life changing experience! ~ Leah
actually why there is negative reviews, reason was years ago it was very rough. a lot of the people there had been working there so long that anyone that was relatively new and not all areas but some it was just a really rough summer to live through. I worked there many years ago when I was in my 20's, and it started out good but over the years it just started to get bad in as far as the attitudes. well I worked there for 9 years, then skipped some years and then went back 15 years ago and then I went on to the Tetons, Im actually going to be ending my seasonal career coming full circle I'll be working my last season back where I started 22 years ago.
True words at 08:55 I use to work for a resort in Montana for only the winter season but I had to move back to France for my own personal and family reasons. This time, I plan on going back out there, to work for Xanterra in Yellowstone and plan to staying there for at least 2-4 years lol
Great video! I'm leaving in 6 days on a greyhound for a 6 month job in mammoth hot springs! Super excited and a little nervous but this was reassuring forsure! Thanks!
Thank you, this is super helpful! I'm trying to find out as much as I can before heading out in May. Would you consider making another video about your experiences/things to do/pro tips? :)
Im headed out in may first timer! Ill be in grant village but there is a good forum on fb called working in yellowstone 2018 alot of people on there and info
I am applying for the winter season. I used to live in Wisconsin, so I know about the snow. Have you heard any thing about the winter season and how cold it gets? or anything else? Thank you for making these videos
OMG your video has been the best so far, I just got done watching the other one you posted. Im from georgia as well, heading out to canyon village this may. I had a question about the dorm environments. Are the roomates all on weed and alcohol? lol and any tips on saving money?
There's a specific niche at yellowstone that chooses to take the more "organic" route in their extra curricular activities, but no one ever really knows who it is. As for drinking, it's something most people don't constantly do! Unless you end up with a roommate that takes a shot of whiskey with their coffee in the morning, you should probably be okay. As for saving money, my best tip would be to not buy crap you don't need. There are "free boxes" in the laundry rooms of most of the dorms (where people put stuff they just don't need/want anymore) and you can generally find what you need in there.
Really thinking about dropping everything and just moving out to Yellowstone to be a wrangler. I've always wanted a high paying job but that's only because I want horses but why not be able to work with horses by doing a job that I will actually enjoy. -edit: but honestly the shared living scares me only because I cant poop in a not private bathroom oof sorry for the tmi, loves-
With Xanterra at least, wranglers make a lot better money and get better housing. Goes for any of the skilled trades, really. I imagine good trail ride guides make decent tips too. Only drawback is lack of work in the winter I guess.
I just got an offer for Xanterra in Yellowstone to be a host at Lake hotel! thanks so much for this video!! Can you make a video about you did in your free time, the people you met, and how it was living somewhere like yellowstone!?
Hey Lexie, Just letting you know that I uploaded a video giving a little more information about what I did in Yellowstone (: czcams.com/video/E2BH3BdQQxY/video.html
Thanks for the info! Will be heading to Glacier N.P. to be a Sous chef for Xanterra. I’m not sure what to expect, but this was pretty helpful. I’m sure it’ll be a big difference from Chicago, who knows… lol
Hey this was a very helpful video! Do you have any tips for applying and the interview process to make sure I get a job? How long did it take after you applied to get called back and interview? Im about to apply hopefully to get a job this summer. Also, I know you don’t go there to make a ton of money, but around how much did you save up by the end of it? That price for housing is pretty good. Thanks so much :)
Hi Anthony! For the application/interview process, I would recommend that you make yourself look good on paper. For example, make sure you have a resumé that is aesthetically pleasing. It doesn't matter if you have a whole lot of experience or not, it's mostly for the fact that it's their first impression of you. After I applied, it took them about two weeks to send me an e-mail offering me a position. As for the interview, I never had one. If you do have a phone interview or something of that sort, make sure you 1) practice speaking clearly and 2) sound professional and 3) look up basic interview questions on the internet. At the end of my Yellowstone experience, I saved up close to two grand. (Which was a big deal to me at 18!) I probably could have saved better while I was up there, but I got into the habit of buying whatever cool outdoors stuff I could find like an ENO, new hiking boots, a camelbak, etc. Good luck, and I hope you get the job! (: Side note: Xanterra also runs facilities in parks like Zion and the Grand Canyon. If you feel like you don't hear back fast enough with Yellowstone, you could always apply to other National Parks as well!
I know the servers made a TON more money than hourly workers. Dining room food is pretty expensive. Hence, larger tips! (when people aren't being jerks) Another place where you can make more money in the park is in a management position! As for days off, we do get two, and usually they are consecutive! Generally on days off, we would hitch hike out to a city or to a trail head for a hike. There will also be people that bring their cars, so if you befriend them, you can generally catch a ride! In my experience, they don't freak out if you make overtime. However, I think it's part of their policy to give employees two days off a week. The only time I ever saw that "rule" thrown out the window was during the end of the season when everyone is working night till dawn to clean everything and close up shop.
David G Im headed out in may first timer! Ill be in grant village but there is a good forum on fb called working in yellowstone 2018 alot of people on there and info
I attempting to get into a a job to get some experience before I go for a season job so I can show on my applications I have had job experience, plus want to save up as much money for myself so I won't worry about what money I do earn in a season job.
I found this video I've worked temporary at Glacier but I have a phone interview for Yellowstone for helping hands it's only for like 1 month of May. I found this video kind of on accident. I noticed there was no new videos
@@misskelbo I only stayed for 2 months at the job I was supposed to be at for 4 months I ended up taking a regular job off the park. Gas is extremely high I knew that was going to be the case and everything was extremely high you had to drive 40 miles to get somewhere where it was reasonable. The experience was okay I was promised 14 an hour if they paid $12 an hour kept $2 an hour and you get all that back if you stay the entire time but I didn't. It was beautiful that was my third time up at Glacier Park in 3 years but it was worth it on what I got to see and everything but it was pretty expensive and very secluded so that part wasn't so good. I had a car issue there too couldn't drive it for about 10 days. 2 hours away from a Walmart
@@misskelbo sorry for the long message but I'll probably check more into the helping hands thing again because four months is just too long for me up at Glacier being that far away from anything that was cheap. One month would be very easy or 2 months
@@andrewbrann6231 i am doing helping hands only for one month, maybe i am reading your comment wrong but did you do yellowstone helping hands for just the one month in May?
Old Fairhful Snow Lodge 09 to 11 here. I think we paid about $75 a week for R/B then. Even at $425 a month, it's not bad for rent and 3 meals a day. I just wish they'd be more upfront about it when advertising pay rates. You get offered 9 to 11 an hour depending on the job, but $2.50 an hour of that is r/b, so youre really making 6 to 8 bucks an hour. Its not horrible, but I prefer other companies (Ive worked for a couple since) that advertise a lower rate and call the r/b "free". So you can plan budget and savings better.
I know that seasonal work is all for the experience but I got a job at a national park for grounds maintenance and I’ll be making 8.50 an hour for 5 months how much do you think I can save up estimate
So if you make $8.50 an hour and were there for 5 months, each month averages about 4.34 weeks. You'd be there around 21.7 weeks. On a bi-weekly pay schedule, you would get paid approximately 10.85 times while you were there. Each paycheck, pre tax, would be around $680. Since the average deductions from someone's paychecks for taxes are 22.65%, that would mean you would be having around $154.02 taken out of each paycheck. After subtracting roughly $175 (estimate) for room and board every two weeks, that would leave you with around $350.98 in take home, assuming you never worked over 40 hours each week. After your total time there, you would be able to save around $3808.13, assuming you saved all of your take home cash.
Wow thanks for taking the time for answering my question 😅😅 I would do it but I was to lazy haha , it doesn’t sound so bad I guess😃 I probably make that in a month since I work construction but I really need a different path in life so I’ll give seasonal work a try 👌
@@luisbartolo7169 Yeah, dude, no problem! It's definitely something to consider before you invest a few months of your life into it. You could always work over time as well, or even get/ask for a raise once you're there!
Hello I will work for Xanterra this summer and I am worried about the phone service. I am from Europe, so don´t know how it is working there and I need some connection with my family. Thanks for your answer. :)
I use the company Verizon for phone service and it works really well in the Wyoming/Montana/Idaho area! If you don't have a cellphone but have a laptop of some sort, you could always Facetime or Skype your family as well!
Thanks! My laptop will luckily work :) I have though about the bank account, but not sure, if I will be able to make it due to the time I have in bozeman, when I arrive. But once again thanks a lot!
As for the bank account, I knew some people from Romania that rode with someone to Cody, WY and they were able to open an account there! I believe it was with Wells Fargo.
Im headed out in may first timer! Ill be in grant village but there is a good forum on fb called working in yellowstone 2018 alot of people on there and info
Would you recommend working there while doing school? I only have 2 courses (online) this spring, but I don't know how I'll balance that with the employer's expectations and the wifi situation
I am working for them this season and they do not recommend any coursework but only because of wifi. I believe the only service they have is enough for texts or calls every now and then if you can find it. I asked if i could take college courses and they pretty much said no
Do you know anything about working in West Yellowstone? (slightly outside of the park) Do you think it's the same experience as working in the park? I haven't been able to find as much information on that company vs xanterra. Thanks.
Just finished my contract with xanterra at Yellowstone. I would compare it to being in a cult. It was kind of like high school with dorms. Lots of drama. Everyone is in a clique. Not a bad experience but bizarre.
They generally put people with roommates that are similar to them in age. As for dorms with different age groups, they do have one specifically for those under 21. They also have a "quiet" dorm!
If you work in an area of the park like Mammoth Hot Springs that is open all year, I believe you can! Old Faithful also has a winter season you could work. Another option to work year-round would be to do two different parks and switch off each season!
Each location in Yellowstone has a gym! I didn't get my hair cut while I was there, but there are several towns close by where you could do that if you needed to.
You can bus or fly to Bozeman. $200 each way on Greyhound, give or take, depending on where you start. Plan on one night in a motel there, $50 to $100, the company shuttle to the park is an hour drive and leaves early, but its free. The company sometimes arranges trips to west yellowstone, mt or gardiner, mt for shopping or whatever, but youre better off finding a friendly coworker with a car to get around while there. Though I should add you dont HAVE to leave youre location. Food is provided and theres small stores for toiletries items.
As far as pay goes, I found that Xanterra's pay was lower than other companies with NP contracts. I found a job in Tetone NP, close to Yellowstone, and the pay was higher. Housing, dorm or rv site, this year is included, no extra cost. EDR is $70/week if you want to buy it, you can opt for coupon book if you don't plan to eat there 3x a day.

So excited. Just had my interview and I got the job, so now I get to spend 5 months working in Yellowstone 😁
It was the best time of my life but the best thing was zero technology so you had people of all walks of life getting along with each other.

Can a person work year around?
If you work in an area of the park like Mammoth Hot Springs that is open all year, I believe you can! Old Faithful also has a winter season you could work. Another option to work year-round would be to do two different parks and switch off each season!
What about grooming and fitness?
Each location in Yellowstone has a gym! I didn't get my hair cut while I was there, but there are several towns close by where you could do that if you needed to.
Do they fly you out or do you have to pay for your way to get there?
You have to pay to get yourself out there! I drove, but the cheapest way is supposed to be by bus!

Bus is a great way to go!! I hope you get the job! Good luck on your interview! (:
