Under our corporate umbrella, we currently operate two retail stores (The Roundup & The Ranch Shop) plus two motels (The Ranch Inn & The Flying Saddle Resort in Alpine, WY.)

RETAIL STORES: (The Roundup & Ranch Shop) Sales Assistants, Cashiers & Inventory/Stock Clerks
During the busy summer season, our retail stores are open daily from approximately 9:00 AM until 10:00 PM. Winter store hours are much shorter. Employees will work approximately 40 hours per week with overtime being a possibility. Scheduling depends upon operating conditions, personnel needs, and the overall business climate. Don't worry, days off are also a must! We ask that you work hard and be responsible during your stay, but we also want you to play hard and enjoy this beautiful area. Entry level seasonal wages range from $7.50 to $8.00/hr. depending on the situation PLUS a season end bonus between $.50 - $1.00/hr. can be offered. The bonus is paid only if the terms of your employment contract are met. Merit raises are possible and store discounts are available.
Job Qualifications:
Simply put, we are looking for interested, honest, friendly, hard-working individuals who like to have fun and enjoy themselves. A positive attitude and the ability to work with people is a must - period! As previously mentioned, we want you to work hard, and we want you to enjoy what this beautiful area has to offer. If you are not a "people person" with an outgoing personality, this may not be the place for you.
As stated, previous retail sales experience is preferred but is by no means required; however, a friendly, outgoing personality is an absolute must!
Job Duties: Retail sale of our store merchandise of course! Other duties will include merchandise stocking & inventory control, merchandising & display, store and department maintenance & upkeep, cashiering, and store opening & closing responsibilities.
Appearance Standards: We ask that our employees maintain a casual, conservative and conventional appearance while on the job. Dress comfortably, but appropriately for a retail store. Appearance (dress and grooming) is critical in a tourist environment!
Work Schedule: Your work schedule will change throughout the season, especially during the early and late summer months when employees are arriving and departing.
If you live in company housing, you will be expected to work the posted schedule. ++We will not work around a second employer's schedule ~ no exceptions!++ If you have a second job and there is a scheduling conflict, you must work the conflict out with your second employer. Realize that you may be asked to work any shift, any hours, any day - and split shifts are possible. We offer no set schedules.
Please understand that we have a very short summer season in Jackson Hole. Therefore, limited accommodations can be made for employees who cannot work the schedule we require and/or request special periods of time off (other than normal days off) during the summer.
Employee Housing:
We offer housing to most seasonal employees. For the retail stores, we have two and three bedroom, furnished apartments located approximately ten blocks from the stores. All apartments are somewhat dormitory-style in that two individuals share a bedroom along with shared living areas, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. Up to four employees are housed in our two bedroom apartments while five individuals can be assigned to the three bedroom units. All apartments are equipped with necessary furnishings. Employees must bring personal items such as linens, bedding, cooking utensils, televisions, stereos, etc. Telephone and TV/Cable hookups are available should you so choose.
The cost for our housing ranges from $25.00 - $35.00 per week during the summer ($50.00 per week winter) and covers costs for rent and all utilities. A GREAT HOUSING DEAL FOR THIS AREA! Payment is handled through payroll deduction. An individual must work full time (40 hrs. per week) for Garaman, Inc. to be eligible to live in our housing. There is also a $75.00 damage/cleaning deposit required ($25.00 of this amount is non-refundable).
Be aware that housing for male employees and couples is sometimes limited depending upon returning individuals.
Jackson is very busy in the summer, and parking is limited. Bicycles have proven to be an excellent means for both transportation and recreation. Bike racks are provided at all locations.
