      Pros

      Beautiful work environment, nearly 600 acre ranch surrounded on 3 sides by a million acres of Routt National Forest/Zirkel Wilderness. But the people, from the owners, to the management, to the seasonal staff, to the amazing and interesting guests that stay...after 38 seasons I can say that it is the people that make Vista Verde Ranch special, and a special place to work and live.

      Cons

      For the F&B department, the days can be long (10-12 hours, or more!), but the ranch is closed for about 14 weeks/year during the off-seasons of spring and fall.

      Well, we were honored to have you and your family for all these years. Thanks for taking the time to post this - we are grateful for your many contributions to the ranch, particularly for the culture you established in the kitchen. There are many folks who would include their interactions with you under the "pro" column - you were a big reason others had a great experience in the kitchen. You will be missed, for sure, but we know you will be a positive influence in your new community. Again, thanks for your hard work, but thanks even more for your leadership and friendship to us all. We'll do our best to heed your advice, too!

      Pros

      VVR really cares about their staff. I made some life long friends there and have definitely experienced personal growth.

      Cons

      Although it is extremely beautiful and lots to do outdoors, it is a little drive to town. Good thing that Amazon/UPS ship there well.

      Thanks for taking the time to review your time with us, and thanks for your service. So encouraged that you experienced the care and sense of responsibility that we feel for our staff. I'll be the first to admit we don't do it perfectly, but it sounds like you knew our intentions were always to see you grow personally and in your relationships with others. Again, thanks for the encouragement. And, the older I get, the more I LIKE being further from civilization..... and Amazon is killing my budget! :)

      So happy to hear you had a great experience here at VVR, and thanks for your service. We strive to make it a great culture to work and live in, and the reality is that it is the staff who have the most impact on the atmosphere here. Our location is 30 minutes from Steamboat Springs, but probably feels like it is a lot further than that. I watched the news last night, and, frankly, I wish we were further away.... :) Seriously, thanks for taking the time to write down your thoughts. Ben
