VERY GOOD

Positive

Pay is minimun just 9$ per hour, wich is bad, if you are good and they like you they will give you overtime, schedules on summer sucks plus it is a flasher schedule every week, so it reduces the chance to get a second job which is really bad if you want to make some money, managers are so mean,the job is easy but the people is awful, if they like you it will be a little bit better for you but i do not recommend this place to work as a J1 student.

Negative

The relationship with the manager is quite correct, in the beginning I got a lot of hours and overtime, however, as more J1 students came, I got less days. So it is necessary to find another job. They organized a BBQ for employees, it should be organized and a boat ride, which was realized after all the J1 students left ... all in general the manager is absolutely fair.

Hourly rate $ 9.50, hours 35-40, accommodation $ 20 Employers, where to start ... From arriving in Cody until leaving Cody 4 months later, employers have imposed a strong pace on us. It works every day without the right to a day off. When asked by a student from Russia if we can get a day off, the answers are "Only if it's emergency" :) a day off can only be obtained during the season if you do not "follow" the rules, if you quarrel with the bosses (here, above all I mean to the landlady who constantly taunts, lies and reprimands the other students in front of you. In that case, she will do her best to make you a hell of a life. earlier from work, which was certainly the best feeling that summer of all of us :) Some were lucky enough to get a ban on coming to work the next day. Later in the end of the season in September, we managed to have a day off, as it was convenient for anyone to visit Yellowstone. Of course, you also need to rent a car with someone, local americans, or other students, since Big Bear is not likely to take you there for 200 years. I wouldn't recommend Housekeeping to anyone in life, especially at the Big Bear Motel, of course there are exceptions, both in Cody itself and across America. The "lucky ones" who opt for this employer should prepare themselves for hard work, every day of their stay. You can expect an average of 10 rooms a day for cleaning during the season. The motel has about 60 rooms, plus 4 houses in the city that must also be prepared. The rooms are mostly double, some of them are family size with 4-5 beds upstairs. The motel is pet friendly, so be sure to clean the rooms where people have stayed with their pets, which will make your life even worse. The guests are mostly clientele, which doesn't leave much to be desired, so you cannot expect a major financial injection. Basically, it was around $ 40 a week and it happened to not get better for 7 days at all. Students are housed in a camper, located behind the motel. It has 3 rooms with 2,3 and 4 beds, a bathtub and a small kitchen. Apart from the symbolic price of accommodation and arrival at the same time as you wish, since no one will control you, there are no other advantages. The landlady is a horse lover and owns 4 horses behind the motel. If one wishes to clean behind a horse, they can earn extra money, which was generally around $ 20 an hour. The only advantage of housekeeping is that it usually works from 8 - 8:30 to 2:30 - 3, so you have plenty of time to find extra work. The best place for a second job is Walmart, which is about a 5-minute walk from the motel.

Negative

The people at this place are very friendly, and will help you at any time. If you do your job responsibly, you will have maximum respect and, of course, higher earnings

Positive

Managers are wonderful, good-natured and friendly. The job is easy but is done outdoors and the hourly rate is $ 9.

Positive

They give too little hours, watch as much as they can, supervisors hate J1 students. They are constantly working with Mexicans, and they are not allowed to sit down, but only work, work and work, even though they are paid less than we are, but they are so obsessed with work that they drive J1 students at the same pace and do not understand the student lifestyle. Supervisors accuse for no reason. They accused me of sitting down and doing nothing, and most of all I did. Alas, avoid that hotel.

Negative

My position was Spa Attendant, it's the worst possible position there is at a hotel and don't ever accept it. My hourly rate was $ 10.5 an hour. For 40 business hours, my pay check was when taxes and rent ($ 100) were deducted about $ 270 which is tragic, never over. Overtime they never gave me and you won't have it for sure. There are 3 shifts, 7-3, that shift in the main Americans gets and it can hit you 1-2 times a week which is very bad for another job. Shift 10-6, between shifts, a lost day neither here nor there. And the 12-8 shift you will be most comfortable with if you accept that job and go there. With this shift, you have absolutely no chance of doing a 2nd job. Business as a job is not difficult, it is simple and it is not difficult. The manager is not bad, but she is not good either, she has been in the business for years, she can be very inconvenient.

Negative

10/10 ! I was working really hard there i didnt even need 2nd job! They were giving me 65 hours minimum every week! So much overtime and good tips from servers! Because i proves myself in front of the menagers they were giving me pool server shifts and room service shifts as well. I worked 1012 hours for 4 months.Thats an average of 65 every week. Im going there next summer as well!

Positive

The price was $ 14. And there was plenty of overtime, especially in the season, which was $ 21 !!! which is really enough ... A phenomenal experience! Working on the front desk was very futile, but for the week, two parties in the table and you work as if you were in this whole life. I say this because I went to America with a very weak English and I was very afraid I would be able to work on the front desk and here I will just tell you that after a month they put me in the position of PBX (I sat in the office and reported to the phone where people were called and had a 1001 question !!! So do not English to be a barrier to signing up for a bit more serious job, because it is easy to learn when you stop reading it and just relax! :) The hotel had a lot of employees and with a lot of them we are still today, and we were beautifully engaged when we were so. Apart from the front desk, they used to put us on and work on the pool in translation of nothing: D. The seat at the entrance of the swimming pool gives the guests of the hotel bracelets and sandbags and tells Hello, Have a nice day and that's it! Too small: Some of us were sent to housekeeping where they were terrible, my companion was a supervisor to housekeepers, although she was supposed to work on the front desk under the contract! She did not have a great time out there, she did not allow her to have overtime, shortened hours, etc. ... So if you work here, do not screw you up just hold a contract and say you will not be in housekeeping !!! Sometimes they sent us to work on the parking lot. Well, that's literally nothing, sitting in the parking lot and letting cars with a parking pass and those that do not say that I can not do without a pass and that's it! You kill time on the phone, but you're psychically restless from the crowd, the front-line people. They put us on some other time at the front door of the hotel, just standing there opening the door when someone came in, smelling and welcoming guests. There were also days when we were bellmen .. Well, that may have been our best days too! Tips was a high !!! : DDD So we basically did a lot of work but most of the time on the front desk. And there was a tips in all positions. Great place to earn! The other job was in the pizzeria, on the beach. It was wonderful and there, the employer is fantastic, tips, 10 $ hours, free food and drinks as much as you want! : D

Okay, but they did not give us overtime.

The manager of this part has been Alfredo Ponce for many years, mostly Mexicans, although he is always a couple from our territory Montenegro, Serbia, Bulgaria ... Steward is the same thing as dishwasher, although it also includes some cheeses of similar obligations, so if you got a Steward position, it's your suggestion that you get some sort of a better place in that department. Dishwaser is always needed. It's always bussy, it's busy every day, and it's hard to think for me. At any rate, whenever I was on the ground there, it depends again on the locations within the deparment, or if you somehow order it there. Setting up, for example, if you dishwasher at the Lone Eagle restaurant, I think it's easier because the main managers are not always there and a more relaxed atmosphere, but if you're in the hotel try at least be in the Siera restaurant because it's the same thing and the smaller the scope of work There is a position or how to say your daily duty within the Steward position other than the dishwasher. I was in charge of delivering ice for a beach and pier, delivery of pizza, food or some extraordinary delivery. This position is one of the weakest ones you can have as Steward so a table: - You drive it all in a truck, literally sit for 5-10 minutes and you have a minimum of 10 minutes during the shift and drive as easily as you fall psychically, because you are not in one place -You are free when you finish this delivery until you need something else or while you wait, for example, Pizza or food preparation during this time you are actually free only because you have to be there - The supervisors with whom you are working are very good people -This job is only in the morning of the shift from 7:30 to 16:00 so this time is fixed as the flaps for the second loan As for the overtime we had only when there was a bunch of bumps that happened only a couple of times, they mostly avoid giving overtime, but it may happen randomly that they need it. Every Sunday 40 hours for such positions you should not worry about The price for this position in 2018 was $ 12.25 Food is free of charge in the hotel I think it runs as a meal during a free-of-charge meal, although we could all always come to eat as much as we We almost had an extra stake in Raley's market and they are very correct. There were other things about it, but you had to do a little bit more All in all, it was great to have had the luck that a dishwasher had fallen into me (dishwashera), I would not recommend it, because it has easy jobs just because of it. The store was good at this place

Positive

They were great.

I had a very good relationship with my employer.

My employer, Brett, was more than friendly. He had several facilities and immediately offered me another job. Everything was according to regulation. I had accommodation with him, there was not much luxury, but it was fine. Free days by appointment. Even students took us on trips, especially I will never forget a trip to Boston. One great weekend. The team at work was great, it was equal to the ratio of students and domestic Americans. On these two jobs I went out for 70-80 hours a week, but, that was a bit so I finally found the third job in a motel as a busser during breakfast, I worked there for 3-4 hours a day. Both employers were very comfortable and I easily combined working hours.
