Should I bring my computer to Wahweap/ Dangling Rope?
Many employees prefer to have their own computer since we don’t have any computers available for browsing the internet. We do have wireless access in our recreation center as well as limited service in the dorms. Dangling Rope also has wireless internet available to employees for a small monthly fee. ARAMARK Parks and Destinations-Lake Powell will not be held responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged personal items.
Will I get cell service?
Wahweap does have cell phone reception. While reception can be spotty and cause dropped calls, there is cell phone coverage. Best reception will be achieved with Verizon.
Dangling Rope also has limited cell phone reception. The best cell phone carrier for this area is Verizon. Other cell phone carriers do not have reception at Dangling Rope.

There are also employee trips planned throughout the season. In 2010, these trips included the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion and Flagstaff and many other local trips. The employee recreation center has two TV areas, a Nintendo Wii, pool table, foos ball table, a fitness center, and movies to borrow.

How will I get around property (if I don’t have a car)?

The shuttle operates on a regular schedule between Memorial Day and Labor Day. You will receive a more specific schedule when you arrive on property.

Where should I apply for a Social Security card?
From Page, the nearest Social Security Administration office is in Tuba City, AZ, about an hour away. There is also a Social Security Administration office located in Flagstaff, AZ. If you need information about getting to or contacting the Social Security office, you can go to: www.socialsecurity.gov (you will be asked to type in a zip code, use 86045 for Tuba City, or 86001 for Flagstaff). The Social Security office hours are 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. It is important to note that the Tuba City office is located on the Navajo Indian Reservation and recognizes daylight savings time, so it is one hour ahead of the rest of Arizona.
How can someone get in touch with me?
For regular, every day communicating, you will need your own personal cell phone or computer. We do not have any payphones on property.
In the event you don't have a personal cell phone or computer and if your family would like to get a message to you, you can advise them to call Human Resources at 928 645 1084. You can also get a direct phone number from your department manager to give to family members in case of an emergency.
Can I have my paycheck direct deposited?
We strongly encourage employees to receive their pay checks via direct deposit. There are numerous benefits to this. You will have access to your paycheck funds more quickly and you won't have to go into town to deposit you money or cash your check.
Direct Deposit
If you do not currently have a checking account, we suggest you open one before you arrive. Many banks offer free checking with a direct deposit option. In order to set up direct deposit, you must provide a blank voided check or deposit slip to the Human Resources department (no exceptions). Once you submit a direct deposit form, expect to continue receiving paper paychecks for an additional 2-3 pay periods. It normally takes 2-3 pay periods for direct deposit to go into effect. We will provide the direct deposit forms if you choose this option.
Are there ATM’s in the area?
There are ATM’s in the area. One is located in the gift shop at the Lake Powell Resort. All others are located in Page about 6 miles away.
Can I cash a personal check or a paycheck?

The distance to any nearby city or grocery store is nearly 2 hours to Page, AZ which can only be reached via Waheap Marina by boat, followed by a 15 minute drive to the town itself. Since DR is a remote work location, our employees make regular trips to Wahweap, usually once every couple of weeks to stock up on groceries and other necessities.

What are the standards of appearance/dress code?
Personal dress, appearance and cleanliness standards contribute to the morale of all employees and affect the business image Lake Powell presents to customers and visitors.
Employees are expected to dress in the appropriate, clean and pressed uniform and present a clean and neat appearance when they are on the job.
The following standards are to ensure our guests interact with employees who are clean, well groomed and dressed appropriately. Failure to arrive to orientation in accordance with these standards will void all job offers. You will receive an employee handbook on your first day of work which will outline this policy in more detail.
