Working at R-Ranch in the Sequoias in the iconic town of Johnsondale in the Sequoia National Forest in Central California is a DREAM for many people.
Drawn by quality of life … Working in a mountain town has many benefits outside the main purpose of employment or making an income. Being in the mountains on or off-season can be an outdoorsman’s dream come true with the perk of getting paid to be somewhere that you love. Employees are hand selected for specific jobs based on overall talent, experience, and education.
Due to the unique location of this 750-acre property, housing and utilities are generally provided for staff that do not live in nearby small towns. Employees also save the high cost of driving to and from their workplace. Housing, utilities and transportation to and from work adds approximately $12 per hour to an employee’s overall compensation package. That is a lot of extra money for most people. Additional benefits include vacation and sick time, dental insurance, training and support seminars and employee discounts at the General Store & Restaurant.
