      Pros

      I worked here for a total of 5 seasons, one of which was this past summer after a 2.5 year "hiatus." The ranch is situated in the most beautiful location. You will spend your season with 50-60 other staff members who are carefully and diligently interviewed and selected in order to maintain a wonderful work culture. The upper management do a fabulous job training and teaching staff about the mission of the ranch, as well as implementing that throughout the seasons. It is hard work, but extremely rewarding. You are able to participate in almost all of the activities the ranch offers. It is the healthiest mindset and one of the most fulfilling places I've ever worked.

      Cons

      These are "cons" that actually become "pros": - Limited internet - No cell service - Remote living (40 minutes outside of Steamboat). - Work on holidays

      Pros

      Beautiful work environment, nearly 600 acre ranch surrounded on 3 sides by a million acres of Routt National Forest/Zirkel Wilderness. But the people, from the owners, to the management, to the seasonal staff, to the amazing and interesting guests that stay...after 38 seasons I can say that it is the people that make Vista Verde Ranch special, and a special place to work and live.

      Cons

      For the F&B department, the days can be long (10-12 hours, or more!), but the ranch is closed for about 14 weeks/year during the off-seasons of spring and fall.

      Well, we were honored to have you and your family for all these years. Thanks for taking the time to post this - we are grateful for your many contributions to the ranch, particularly for the culture you established in the kitchen. There are many folks who would include their interactions with you under the "pro" column - you were a big reason others had a great experience in the kitchen. You will be missed, for sure, but we know you will be a positive influence in your new community. Again, thanks for your hard work, but thanks even more for your leadership and friendship to us all. We'll do our best to heed your advice, too!

      Thanks for your efforts here at the ranch, and for taking time to share your feedback. Thanks, too, for your willingness to help in several areas - it is a characteristic future employers will really value. Really encouraged that you engaged the ranch in such a way that you now have lifelong friends. Hoping you pay your experience here forward and continue to be an agent of positive life change. Please stay in touch and stop by when you are in the area.
