The Company is under no obligation to provide a work schedule for any definite number of hours during any day of the week. Scheduled work days may fall on any day during the week, including holidays.

Internships

Although internships are not offered by the Grand Teton Lodge Company, the positions and experience we offer may meet internship opportunities provided through your college or university. Each summer we do have numerous employees complete internships through their degree programs.

Drug Free Workplace

We are committed to providing a drug-free workplace. Wyoming state law does not permit the medical use of marijuana and marijuana is illegal under federal law, with or without a prescription.

Employees will be required to submit to a drug and/or alcohol test under the following conditions: after a work-related injury, any accident which results in damage to company property or company vehicles, or reasonable suspicion of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Pre-employment and random drug tests are necessary and conducted on a job specific basis. Refusal to submit to a test or a positive test will result in termination of employment.

Grooming Standards

We know that departments, locations and positions are all different and the details for distinct operating groups may vary, including personal grooming and how you dress. No matter who you are or what you do, that first impression is always important. To be at your best, follow your location or department’s dress code, and talk with your Supervisor about any specific presentation requirements for your job.

Uniforms

Certain positions require employees to wear a uniform while working. Employees are expected to wear uniforms in the appropriate manner. Nametags must be worn and jackets zipped up to above nametag level. All hats, where permitted, must be worn facing forward.

During off-duty hours, neat and appropriate dress is required in any public areas or at any Company events or activities. Your uniform is to be worn only while you are working and should not be worn off the premises after working hours. Your uniform must not be worn while shopping in retail stores, in bars or restaurants, or while consuming alcohol, while on your free time. If using a meal voucher, the employee may be in uniform but must get the meal to go and eat out of public view.

Get Paid

Paychecks are distributed every 2 weeks on Fridays (one week after pay period end). It is possible, depending on your arrival date, to work 2-3 weeks before receiving your first paycheck, so please try to arrive with some extra money to cover this time period for any expenditures you might have. There are no banks within the Park. If you choose to have your paycheck deposited directly into a bank account, you can set this up at check-in or at any time during the season. It takes two pay periods to be activated. You can utilize the Employee Shuttle to open up a bank account in town!  Wells Fargo is directly across the street from Albertsons where the shuttle stops.
