Second Day of Training

            Today was the second day of job training. It’s felt a bit like information overload, but I don’t feel too nervous. Today we mainly learned the computer system that is used to check people in and out, and got an overview of the restaurants, gift shops, and other amenities in the lodge that we should offer to guests. This lodge is huge and absolutely beautiful. There are only guest rooms on the third floor; the second floor has two restaurants, one bar, a lobby with huge windows revealing an amazing view of the Tetons, and three gift shops. Most of the rooms we offer are actually the separate cottages around the lodge; there are nearly 350 of those.

            The supervisors I’ve been working with are the absolute best! I have four main supervisors: Rob, Emily, Jennifer, and Christopher, and they’re all great. They’ve all told us multiple times that at least one of them will always be close by while we’re working so they can help out.

            I just got back to my dorm after having dinner with some of my coworkers. I think later we’re going to go hang out at the Whistle Pig, which is the employee only restaurant and bar here in the dorm area. I hung out in there last night for the first time, with Cristina and our neighbor Jesse. It’s a nice little building, with a tv, a few pool tables, and just some tables and chairs to sit and hang out with other employees.

            Tomorrow is our third and final day of job training, then in the evening there’s a big employee party in the lodge to kick off the season. It’s the first of a lot of parties, socials, game/movie nights, barbecues, and other employee only events set up for us throughout the season. Again, I’m really amazed at how well this company treats its employees.
