Either open at 8 AM or relieve the previous cashier of their duty at lunch time, prepare map-packets for incoming customers to  find their registered campsite, answer phone calls for reservations and answer any questions on rates or anything to do with the company. Make walk-in reservations, arrange proper sites for proper sized vehicles area and clean out the store. At the end of shift count down the cash register to it's original amount, keep a documented list of overages/shortages of money.

Weren't many co-workers to interact with, only one cashier at a time other than on Holidays. The previous owners were pleasant and easy to get along with - was replaced by family when the owners sold thee company.

Hardest part of the job was maintaining the pool and the store at the same time.

Most enjoyable part of the job was meeting all of the customers.

The job really just had me work on mowing and weeding the grounds along with cleaning the bathrooms and office every 2 days. There would be a weekly event on Saturdays and sometimes Sundays that I would have to partake in, for example Halloween which i had to work on a haunted trail or on the fire truck during the summer for the kids. The management really didn't do much either other than tell you why what you're doing is wrong. But regardless I learned quite a bit about yard care and cleanliness in a work place and my current employers will take advantage of that and pay a little extra due to this.

Unless you’re a SummerShiner, working here is really for older people and people in to RV resorts/ cabins. It can be stressful because people complain about little stuff like mud outside of their camper from the rain. A good light to it is that you meet so many different people from all over the globe literally. Really great job for people outgoing and can speak another language. Other language is not required but there are people who come in and cannot speak English, but we live in the 21st century where google translate is keen. Every KOA I have ever worked for has always had some crisis. One had severe rain/lightening/thunderstorms causing a blackout. The second one I worked had a black out as well, but not from severe weather and these were two different KOAs in SD and MA

This was a temporary, seasonal position that KOA (Kampgrounds of America) utilizes to hire staff for the busy summer season. Staff is given an RV site to use and a nominal salary. My typical day started at 5:30 AM so that all food (made from scratch) for the breakfast buffet was ready for early travelers. The manager at KOA never doubted my ability to be dependable and make a good food product. The culture was uplifting, supportive, and we enjoyed many special events. While there was not much I did not enjoy about the job, I suppose the early hours were a little tough especially when there may have been a late night campfire with friends. The best part was the chance to visit parts of Montana on our days off and those late night campfires!

A typical day at the KOA for involved lawn maintenance, maintaining various plants and irrigation systems. I learned a variety of handyman skills. Management was very easy to get along with and work with. The culture of the place was very enjoyable. Through the years I worked there, I got to know the numerous returning customers who lived there seasonally. Many people viewed the place as their seasonal home and loved gettting to know the staff. Other customers were on vacation which made them very friendly and relaxed. The hardest part of the job was the physical activity although it wasn't horrible. The most enjoyable part of the job was the camaraderie amongst the staff and customers.

I worked with the Koa Company for almost 8 years, and was very fun and an active job. I started when I was 16 years old, I continued to re-apply their because of all the fun I had with fascinating people from all-- over the world! that had traveled to come to the A/W/S KOA Kamp Ground specifically!  And team members are just that, good team members.
Great place to start employment skills' (summer only type job usually). All the same it was a experience that affected my life very positively.

When I started at KOA I was very excited. I always wanted to work in a campground and eventually own my own. I soon realized that it wasn't about your skills or your abilities, it was about who you knew. They only promoted people who were related to higher management, including people who had never camped before. I was promised a raise with a promotion and was told that I wouldn’t get to move up because I didn’t know enough people in higher management. That’s when I decided to leave, if I wasn’t going to get the opportunity to move up then I wasn’t going to waste my time. Now don’t get me wrong, I loved working there and loved the people and culture but I couldn’t sit there and watch my life go by.

I never felt like I fir in there. Also I was left out of all of the Events. Even though I was the one that made sure the Management stayed in check with there Clueless Direction of running a Safe Park

What is the best part of working at the company?
The location and coworkers. Great coworkers, nice campground, convenient location to everything. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management. Assistant gm has no management experience, neither does the store manager. GM has never lived in an rv so cannot relate to employees. Bonuses and incentives promised and never given and jobs promised then taken away. Get an agreement in writing if you plan to work here. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Profit focused, not guest or employee. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Chaotic and management nowhere to be found.

This place is very friendly and fun to work at. I would work outside so i would work with both the people in the office, the customers and the other maintenance crew. I learned how to do the job i was assigned in the most efficient way after a few weeks of work. The management was good, they were kind and cared for they employees.
The hardest part of the job was (for me) talking with the customers but over time i learned how to communicate with them more and better. But the most fun i had was working with the other people, we would just talk and laugh while we worked.
