About the employer
Red Lodge Pizza Co is part of Red Lodge Hospitality and sits in Red Lodge, Montana, a small town that serves as a gateway to Yellowstone National Park. Many students come back for a second season, sometimes a third, and because the company runs other locations too, a second job with them is possible.
In town you'll find banks, grocery stores, a post office, salons, a movie theater, a nature sanctuary, an art gallery and a museum. Around it: hiking, biking, camping, climbing, horseback riding, fishing and rafting, plus summer events like a four-day Independence Day celebration. The nearest big city is 60 miles away.
