Each department varies in how they operate, although a common denominator would be the alarming turnover rate of managers and supervisors in every department. That alone says enough. Either over staffed where they cut workers shifts, or understaffed and will not ask before assigning you to additional shifts. A lot of workers have second jobs because of how slow it is at the beginning and end of the season ( and having their shifts being cut). If you have exceptionally good work ethic, you will be depended on heavily by your management to take the lead, however a title change and raise in pay is unlikely. Unless you are working full time or have two seasons under your belt, you will not be eligible to enroll in health benefits. This is a decent place to work for one who is wanting to experience Big Sky, MT for a season or two.  Difficult for anyone looking to work long term. 

i applied at part time and was politely declined. a few weeks later they emailed me back stating they wanted to consider part time. 

4 hours into my first shift im pulled aside and told immediately that being part time would be an issue, they never tried talking to me about it or working with me like they said they would. they also tried to say that there were other reasons, however that was the first and big issue, so.... i dont know why they had even messaged me back after the initial discussion we had.

at least they paid me for a full 8 hours and the 2 hours for onboarding, but overall this was a really weird experience for me. i also felt like i wasnt allowed to have an opinion on the housing they offered. which is 650 to share a room with 10 other people.

Private club on the mountains, restaurant with mountain view and clean spaces everywhere. 
They offer food to all the positions, a shuttle with certain schedules to drive you work. However, since its a private place (members only) you can not make a lot of money. The managers, some of them are reallt good and some of them just don´t care about you or have to tell you bad things since the "heads" of the company doesn´t want you to have a perfect seasonal evaluation. 
Without that,The most beautiful views I have ever seen, if you are a j1 there´s so much fun and tax free. Also you can find a second job easily.


What is the best part of working at the company?
Coworkers,

It was nice working through issues with team members. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management,

They expect employees to work crazy hours, perform extra duties but refuse to pay competitive wages

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful,

There are always new issues that come down from management making the job harder, more stressful. The employee turnover was hard to deal with as well.

Moonlight Basin is a growing private club with endless opportunities for career growth. Everywhere you look are people that started in an entry level job that are now managing departments. All hospitality has challenges, but Moonlight is truly an enjoyable place to come to work every day with amazing members to serve, awesome teammates, and is surrounded by world class recreation to enjoy outside of work. Great benefits too for full time and seasonal employees! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Located in Big Sky Montana, quite little town that offers lot of outdoors activities, friendly people from different places. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If I had to say, none really. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Ski resort, seasonal. Diversity in staff.

Fun place to work, great people, but it needs a lot of work getting organized. Had some issues with scheduling and a little drama, which is expected. Otherwise a great company once things get put together a little more.

If you want to have a life I wouldn’t suggest working in the resort style places if you enjoy working and being married to your coworkers you’ll fit in just fine. You become a family and there’s obviously ups and downs that go with that. Do not have an opinion with management or it will put a target on your back.

Lied to about housing from the start
Rent not properly reduced
Did a higher role job with no high compensation for 2-3 months 
Uncooked chicken
Bad management
No professionalism 
No h/r


It wasn't a faced paced job and if it was it was only for an hour or two. The rest of the day was slow cooking and mingling with customers. Employees of such were a pain but what workplace doesn't have them?
