Pink Jeep Tours

Your range 1-2 days will probably be consistent, busy, and lucrative. Your remaining range days will be unpredictable, yet you’re expected to sit around on standby unpaid. You are only paid when you are on tour and for prep / wash time at a flat 1.5 hours (which sometimes exceeds 1.5 hours and you’re just expected to accept that). Busy days, expect to be at work 12-14 hours but only paid 10. Some days you may be expected to be there from 7am-4pm but may only get paid 3-5 hours. That adds up. Tips can make up for hours—in fact you depend on them. But you cannot rely on them. The demographic on your tour is a crapshoot. And you’ll find that some tours predictably cater to non/low-tipping demographics like clockwork.

Training is designed to make you overthink literally everything and make you feel like you’re in some elite group of master drivers. Like a SEAL. This is embellished. Most of the guides have only guided for Pink and lack any industry awareness and professionalism. And even after years of guiding, some still lack technical ability and informational accuracy. Frankly even using the term “guiding” is a stretch in some cases. 

Management is not admirable. They are sometimes helpful, but most of the time not. They only have Pink’s profits in mind. All care for the guide is superficial lip service. I think in their hearts certain members of management care, but somewhere the company koolaid kicks in. The company itself is soulless and looks at its guides as meat for the grinder. They front end training with people who have been there for decades and intentionally never mention the dozens of people they churn through, fire spontaneously, and push away every season. Their biggest ethic is “Leading with Love,” but I have never seen that ethic embodied with any authenticity. Pink leads with greed.  

Culture is negative and toxic. Nonstop gossip and complaining among the guides. Some of it is justified venting, but it’s so poisonous to be around. Best to separate yourself or stick to the few good ones. Also, no tattoos and you have to look like a grown up Boy Scout. 

The hardest part of the job is the blatant disregard for the value of your time and how they treat adults like children. It’s so discouraging. There’s no advancement or additional compensation for prior experience or accredited education within the industry. It’s hard going to work, giving your all to your people, knowing the company you work through sees you as unvalued and expendable. I’ve filled out countless “How are we doing” surveys and nothing has changed. You will be unheard. 

The best part of the job are the guests. For as greedy as Pink is, they draw in *mostly good, wholesome people. But expect a sea of vapid influencers, people with mobility issues on tours they should have been screened out of, general weirdos, etc. But for the most part, the people are good. And sometimes the sunsets are, too. 

If you’re considering this job, it can be incredibly rewarding, but I wish someone would have painted an honest picture for me before I accepted and uprooted my whole life to relocate across the country based on false promises. It all depends on you and how much you’re willing to accept their disregard of your valuable time. It’s a good, come in, put your head down and work, then leave type of job. 

I Love working at the Customer Contact Center and Love telling people about all of the wonderful tours our company offers and selling FUN!  I myself gained and pass on to our customers knowledge about the beautiful areas of Sedona, Grand Canyon and Las Vegas.

I have always been respected by management and my feedback has always been taken seriously and many times my suggestions have been implemented by the company.  This company is the first company I've ever worked for that is completely transparent in it's long-term and short-term goals and yearly profits.  

We have a mutually supportive work environment and management allows for individual needs as well as needs of the company.  We have a wonderful Mission Statement for our company and everyone in the company does their best to live up to the precepts of our Mission Statement!

The hardest part of the job is during holidays and Spring break at the Call Center.  It is busy and fast-paced, but fun!  

The best thing about my job is that you are helping individuals and families have lasting memories of their tour and the education that is given adds to the guest's total experience and appreciation of the natural and man-made wonders of their tour location.

I highly recommend Pink Jeep Tours as one of the best companies to work for in the U.S.

Working as tour guide I loved being outdoors with people. Beautiful surroundings of Grand Canyon will compensate for stressful work environment and toxic management at Grand Canyon branch. It’s a bit corporate feel to work there now and the company runs on its previous prestige. Please understand that you have to be committed to 8h work day but you’ll only get paid for the hours while on tour, you may get one tour or two or none. You have to give your 100% and be nice to your guests, this is really important because you depend on their tips. As tour guide you will be responsible for lives and safety of people on your tour. Daily detailed cleaning of your jeep and safety check of the vehicle is one of the most important things, you won’t get paid for it by the company but this is very important, your guests will pay attention to the cleanliness of your jeep and will tip accordingly so keep it in mind. 
There are periods of time were there is no work available, mostly due to weather conditions or lack of guests then most likely they will suggest you voluntarily resign. Overall if you love nature you’ll love the job and you’ll have an opportunity to work at one of the seven wonders of the world, views are breathtaking, unforgettable 

Inconsistent hours day to day.  You only get paid when on tour, so could work two hours or nine hours.  Or possibly none.  Tips can fill in the gaps, but those aren't guaranteed and with how expensive the tours are per person, the guests probably think you're making way more than you are.

Company housing is the only option, unless you want a really long commute.  Nice thing is that the rent is cheap and its a quick walk to work.  But no pets, not even service animals, and no significant others unless they also work for Pink. 

This locations seems to be an afterthought to Corporate.  Onsite management is only slightly better.  Lots of promises, but no follow up.  Very little understanding of what it's like for the guides to be on tour with some of the "Karen" guests.  Or what it's like to have to sit in line over an hour just to get into the park, dealing with guests that have mobility issues, and "service" dogs.

Senior guides take a lot of time off, so you'll be asked to cover for them while not advancing up in the company.
Very strict dress code, no tattoos showing and men aren't allowed any piercings.  Also not allowed to have long hair as a man, can't touch your collar, and beards have to be super short, step above five o'clock shadow.

Easy job, but one of the worst companies I’ve worked for. Talking to older employees the company has been getting worse as the years drag on. The company cut our best medical insurance last year and raises are virtually non-existent. Little care is given to the health of the guides and you are exposed to silica dust daily. The company forbids you and will write you up for wearing any sort of facial protection to limit exposure. 

They ask you constantly to work extra days and when you don’t or can’t (such as having a life beyond work), it counts against your yearly review (even though they claim it’s purely volunteer). The last few raises has been mere pennies for one reason or another company wide. The culture is horrible. Everyone is unhappy and tired from the lack of enough employees, so more is being put on us and many are leaving because of this.

The company is too top heavy with upper management and lean on the boots on the ground. Overall, it’s a very frustrating company to work for. They’re living on their past reputation, but it’s fastly disappearing on a local level.

Fun and interesting job. 
Beautiful tour locations. 
Awesom tour vehicles.
Training is thorough for the most part, but management really wants you to learn as you go, make the tour your own and put some of your personality and humor into it to make the tour enjoyable and fun for the guests. 
A lot of facts, stats, plants and animals to gain knowledge about as well as history pertaining to each of the tour locations you cover. Both in and out of Vegas. The more you work the more knowledge you will gain.
When your able to answer your guest's questions ACCURATELY the more they will appreciate,  and be impressed with you.
Overall..........
It's a great job.

The job is fun and exciting until it’s not. 
Typically, you work a four day schedule and you have anywhere from 2 to 5 tours a day. You make most of your money with tips, spring and fall can be very lucrative. You can work very long hours outside or not work at all. Feast or famine so budget wisely. The nature of the job itself is brutal on your body. It’s cool getting to work in such an amazing place like Sedona out in nature and you work with pretty cool people from all over. Sedona traffic will be your biggest workplace disaster. Note you will be responsible for being “on point” in many instances, in other words “next up, so be here and have your jeep ready” for tours for many hours without getting any tours sometimes. Meaning you can be at work all day without getting paid( other than to check out/inspect your jeep, which is about $15) Management will remind you that you signed up for this because this is an “engaged to wait” position. It’s not for everyone but some guides love their job! 

The company has steadily been going downhill from an employee perspective. They make it very apparent that making money and business needs are king, and it comes before the employee. 

Guides are not paid for prep time which is about 2 hours everyday of unpaid time. You literally work 30-40 hours per month for free for the company. You also aren’t paid if you aren’t on tour and there are days you can sit at work for an entire day and never go out. Hourly pay is honestly not enough for what you do and tips are hit or miss. 

This is NOT a small business, but a corporation, with corporate views and corporate values. 

Many employees have left of late because of severe management issues. 

If you have not worked here in the last couple of years, you’re not seeing the Pink Jeep of today. Very sad to see a company slowly unravel itself due to mismanagement.

If you love history, are an outgoing person with a kind, positive attitude, you will enjoy working here. The training program is thorough and comprehensive. With the skills and education you receive, you will be considered elite in this employment category in Las Vegas. Generally, Pink Jeep is known for its exceptional 6 week training program. Working outdoors, staying active, and a continuing education program builds comradery within our employees. You  get to pick from an array of full benefits unlike many competitors, which provides peace of mind, and benefits start immediately. Work schedules rotate daily seniority to help new hires. So, if you are considering a career change or are transitioning into a retirement career where you want less stress, Pink Jeep will be an answer. 

Worked at Grand Canyon office. The program was started with very little research so way too many people were hired for the amount of business. We were all told that the job was year round but not nearly enough business in winter to support all of us. Management was awful and very unprofessional. Not much support from corporate office. Housing terrible if you're married and/or have pets. Training was not good and company did not appreciate suggestions from staff who wanted to make things better. They would not admit that their research was not adequate before they opened at the GC and were very defensive. Like most companies, making money was the most important thing and how they treated staff just not very important to them. Also, customer satisfaction didn't seem very important to them either.
