Rainier Guest Services

Ascending to 14,410 feet above sea level, Mount Rainier is an iconic point in the Washington landscape. Our associates gain valuable experience here while meeting guests and coworkers from around the world, and in their free time they have a magical world of pristine mountain meadows, majestic waterfalls, peaceful old-growth forests, and much more to explore! 

Throughout the season we have regularly scheduled activities and day trips with transportation provided for associates, including trips to nearby adventures or cities like Seattle to visit Pike Place or catch a Mariners game! Employees with vehicles are only a short 2-hour trip away from exploring many destinations like Portland and Seattle on their own.

Because of our unique location, room and board are provided to associates who do not live in one of our surrounding communities at a very low-cost via payroll deduction. Laundry facilities are provided at each dorm unit at no cost to employees.  Employee meals are served in Employee Dining Rooms.  We can also accommodate a limited number of RV units.  All RV's must be fully self-contained - no camper shells/vans, etc.

Do you naturally reach out to help others, including guests and co-workers? Are you excited by the opportunity to live in a remote and beautiful location?  Are you willing and able to work hard?  If so, we want to hear from you! 

Other Benefits: Paid Sick Time
