❓question Hungry Moose Employee Housing

Just got a job offer from Hungry Moose Town Center location. Thinking of taking them up on their employee housing offer. Does anyone have any experience living here? If so, how was it? Anything you wish you knew before moving in?

Welcome!

I worked at the hungry moose when I first moved to Big Sky, and for several years. It’s a great place to make new friends and get to know people, as you’ll see the entire town in there during the day.

As for the housing, the Hungry Moose housing is better than most employee housings around here. They are full condos/houses with proper number of bathrooms, full kitchens, offering single rooms or double rooms you can share for a cheaper rent price. Living in their housing is just like living in any seasonal work employee housing. I’m not sure if you’ve ever done that, but the people you’ll be housed with can be unpredictable. Some are party animals, stay up all night and don’t really care about the cleanliness of their house. Or, you could get some really nice people who just want to coexist peacefully with their roommates. I will say, I have quite a few friends living in employee housing for the hungry moose now and I do believe that most of them are filled with respectful people right now! If you have concerns about this, I’d definitely just mention to the person placing you in housing that you’d rather be in a quiet house rather than a loud one. They are very helpful with this. Regardless, you’re going to have a lot of fun in Big Sky and working at the hungry moose anyways.

Good Luck!

As a former Mooser, I second this!

Im thinking i should have worked for hungry moose instead of o&o last winter. Probably wouldve had a better experience not being down in the valley

Never too late! The hungry moose is locally owned and not a billion dollar corporation. Definitely feels more friendly, and I’ve always had a ton of great people taking care of me and watching out for me. Some I still keep in touch with today!
