Toxic. - Wrangler Bar W Guest Ranch Employee Review

Beautiful views, great people, great trails. Head wrangler Lindsay is incredible!

Management at the time I was there was terrible, food was hardly edible and often gave me food poisoning, old owner was terrible. Hours are not always consistent (but who is used to getting off on time when working with horses?).

Guests were for the most part awesome.

When Bar W purchased Whitefish outfitters the culture changed. It was no longer fun. The owners never made any attempt to compensate the guides for an additional 50 minutes per day due to longer travel distances required based on the new location. 3 senior guides lecture to a mandatory tip sharing scheme to boost underpaid non customer facing staff. So your tip becomes everybody’s. Very unfair for this industry. Lastly, after 6 years with WFO it was worth it to walk away from this company who could care less about their employees.
