Supportive Ownership and Leadership - opportunity for career growth - beautiful location

there are no cons - best place to work in Grand County

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.

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.
