Pros

Good coworkers, a mission to believe in, interesting opportunities for professional development, good benefits

Cons

Management changes had caused the feeling that the company was going downhill right before I left. Questionable decisions were being made, and it felt like many established employees were being forced out of the company. Morale was really low and many times there was either too much to do that you were stressed or nothing to do, which I know is to be expected in conservation but it was a frequent occurrence here. Seems like the company is trying to do a major overhaul on structure but it’s leaving a lot of people in the dust.

Pros

WBC gives great opportunity to learn skills that interest you that may not be in your job description. The work is meaningful albeit hard and tedious. Great opportunity to create wildlife habitat. New trails work program has just been implemented. Four day work weeks and three day weekends. Crew leads are wonderful, special shout out to Robert Biggs, without whom I would not have gained the much needed new technical skills and confidence to lead. Lifelong friendships are made here. Great opportunity to explore the American west and close enough to state and national parks to spend a weekend.

Cons

Company housing is affordable but has hidden costs. Lack of air conditioning (in the desert) is a problem. The mice infestation must have been the worst I’ve ever seen or heard of. They are not afraid. Management made some steps to eradicate the vermin but not enough. Living with multiple people can be both exciting and exhausting but the rooms were filled to the brim. Unfortunately upper management didn’t seem to take our complaints seriously. If you can live off site that would be my recommendation.
