Pros

pretty scenery, good hiking, denver isn’t too far

Cons

DO NOT WORK HERE IF YOU ARE A YOUNG GIRL! If you are planning to come and work at devils thumb for your gap year look for other options right now! The management and hr are terrible! I had comments made abt my weight and looks daily working at the restaurant . I was so uncomfortable and felt that I couldnt focus on my literal job. For my age this was very jarring especially being so far away from home hr will do nothing abt it if anything normalize it. there are better options please look for them.

Pros

If you manage to find a job at the spa, cafe, or activities, you'll likely have a good time. Otherwise, prepare for favoritism, politics, and a toxic environment.

Cons

The employee housing at this ranch is unsafe and disgracefully mismanaged. Mold and maintenance problems persist for long periods and are routinely dismissed, creating living conditions that feel closer to neglect than care. Housing is overseen by HR, yet there is a profound lack of transparency, accountability, and genuine concern for employee well-being. Leadership decisions consistently raise serious concerns, and basic due diligence appears to be treated as optional rather than essential. Repeated patterns of perceived favoritism, inappropriate relationships, and questionable promotion practices have eroded trust across the staff. Employees are left feeling that standards are applied selectively and that safety, professionalism, and fairness take a back seat to internal politics. Health risks tied to unresolved mold and poor upkeep in employee housing are treated as inconveniences rather than urgent responsibilities. A handful of strong managers try to shield their teams, but they are clearly working against a broader culture of, at best, gross indifference. The message from the top is unmistakable: employees are a cost to be managed, not people to be protected. This place runs on damage control, not integrity.
