Overview - Working and living at Yes Bay
Yes Bay Lodge is a seasonal business, open for a brief 4+ month season. During that time, we are a 24-hour a day/seven day a week operation. We expect our employees to be 100% focused on their job and the business while on duty. Depending on the desired position some employees may be required to adhere by a dress code. This information can be located in the job description section.
Each position is equally important to the smooth operation of the business. We expect all employees to work cooperatively and respect all work spaces. Employees ultimately work for the guests with the goal of making their stay as pleasant as possible.
We want our staff to thoroughly enjoy their time spent at the lodge. Days off are a perfect way to take advantage of the remote location. Therefore employees are encouraged to hike our trails. The most established being a one and a half mile hike up Wolverine Creek to the exquisite McDonald Lake. There you may take part in some of the world’s most superb Trout fishing. Some other activities include saltwater fishing for King Salmon and Halibut, wildlife viewing, and kayaking/swimming in the pristine Alaskan waters. Having a hobby will also provide employees with a more enjoyable stay. For example, photography, painting, drawing, reading, writing, knitting/crocheting, are all fantastic ways for employees to relax and take pleasure in their time off.
All employees will reside in dormitory style living quarters that will be shared with another crew member of the same sex. Rooms include beds, shelving, and a bathroom with a shower. Crew may utilize a shared TV with satellite and VHS/DVD for entertainment, laundry facilities are open in the evening for crew use, and meals are served cafeteria style in the employee break room. Because everyone lives and works in close proximity to one another it is crucial that everyone respect each other’s job, work space, personal space, and personal belongings. There is no room for displeased employees. Management will address all situations that may arise. Any decisions made in this regard will be made based on the best interests of the business.
Successful employees are willing to put 100% effort into their work, and 100% into time off. Those who easily become bored by the remote location will most likely not enjoy the unique opportunity to live and work in the relative wilderness.
Our guests are having fun when the staff is having fun! Our staff is valuable and we want to keep you coming back!
