The Employee Experience

What it's like:

For a look at what it's like to spend a summer working with us in Glacier Park, check out our employee blogs! We also have videos available about our seasonal experience and our day-to-day work experience!

Working for the Glacier Conservancy feels different than working for a larger company operating in the National Parks. We are a medium-sized non-profit organization, and we hire about 40 seasonal employees to work in our four retail locations and warehouse. We strive to make your summer employment a meaningful experience.

Locations:

Our retail store locations include the Historic Belton Train Depot (West Glacier), Apgar Visitor Center, Logan Pass Visitor Center, and St Mary Visitor Center. We offer a wide range of products in our stores: books, maps, t-shirts, bear spray, postcards, ornaments, magnets - you name it! Our products are carefully selected for authenticity and interpretive value.

Most of our employees are based on the west side of Glacier Park and work primarily at the Logan Pass Visitor Center store and Apgar Visitor Center store, and occasionally at the Depot store. A smaller number of employees are hired for the St Mary Visitor Center store and work and live on the east side of Glacier Park for the summer. They primarily staff the St Mary Visitor Center store, with some shifts at Logan Pass. Our employees value the varied schedule - working in several locations with different teams of people.

Scheduling and Availability:

Most seasonal employees work about 40 hours per week, but we do hire a few part-time employees. Full time employees generally work four 10 hour shifts per week with a 3 day weekend. Part time employees generally must be available to work a minimum of 2 days per week.

We require full-time availability in order to qualify for employee housing.

We offer start dates in April, May, and June. We offer end dates in September and October.

We do not have any positions to offer that end in August. We have a few that go just beyond the Labor Day weekend, but the majority of our positions go through the end of September or into October.

We value your time away from work, and we strive to schedule consecutive days off per week. While we do our best to accommodate special scheduling requests, we ask that employees keep additional time off requests to a minimum.

Ideal Candidate

We are the official fundraising partner of Glacier National Park, so all of our hard work in the retail stores and warehouse ultimately helps to preserve and protect it for future generations. Our ideal candidate:

Works during the time frame of May to October
Enjoys a fast paced retail environment
Cares deeply about our national parks and helps connect visitors to our mission
Fosters a positive and supportive team environment
Communicates well with co-workers and supervisors
Keeps calm under pressure and solves problems creatively
Adapts easily to changing circumstances due to weather, road closures, fires, and other variables

Applicants with retail, hospitality, warehouse or customer service experience are given top consideration in the hiring process.

PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to offer sponsorships for J1 or H2B applicants.

Living Here

Room and Board

Housing overview

For those who need housing, we have a two employee houses: one located about a 15-minute drive from West Glacier in Hungry Horse, MT and the other one located directly in West Glacier, MT. A limited number of full-time employees can live at those locations for a $87.50/week.

We have two employee houses on the west side: one located in Hungry Horse, MT and one located in West Glacier, MT. Both are single family homes, not dorms. Bedrooms are shared with a roommate or roommates. Full-time employees can live in the houses for a housing fee of $87.50/week, which is deducted from their biweekly paycheck. Both houses offer onsite washer & dryer. Utilities, internet, PO Box, and basic supplies are included.

If you're interested in working at the St Mary Visitor Center (on the east side), you will need an RV or your own housing in the area. We can help arrange a trailer site in St Mary. Site costs vary from $350 to $400 per month. We do not have an employee house in St Mary.

Employees that receive housing support are required to be available to work 40 hours per week.

Please note that you will need to provide your own transportation. Public transportation in the area is VERY limited, and it would be challenging to manage here without a personal vehicle.

We do not offer meal plans.

Getting Here and Getting Around

Bringing a personal vehicle is essential. Employee housing is not located on-site and there is no public transportation. Your own vehicle is necessary to drive to and from work.

Although biking to work might not always be practical, we definitely recommend bringing a bike, if that's what you're into - there are some great cycling opportunities here.

For Fun

Glacier National Park is known as a hiker's and peak bagger's paradise. During your summer here, you will have easy access to an incredible system of trails that can lead you to remote alpine lakes, through beautiful forests, and to the top of rugged peaks. There are also great opportunities in the area for mountain biking, fishing, camping, backpacking, rafting, kayaking, horseback riding and more.

Throughout the summer, we love to organize fun activities for our seasonal staff, and we're always open to suggestions!
