Thousand Trails hit by layoffs
Thousand Trails, the San Francisco-based operator of RV camping and outdoor preserve communities, is being purchased by Equity LifeStyle Properties. When that sale is complete, 144 positions at its headquarters will be eliminated. An additional 97 employees working off-site will also lose their jobs.
Mergers and acquisitions frequently cause staff reductions. It could also be affected indirectly by fuel prices. If income is down then reducing expenses is one way to improve the bottom line. What some executives forget is that the staffers can make or break the visitor's experience. Let's hope the quality of service does not go down or they may find even fewer guests wanting the Thousand Trails experience.
If you are thinking of working for Thousand Trails (which also has some concession contracts in national forests) you might want to check to see if this park or area is marked for staff reductions so you don't get surprised mid-season. Jaimie Hall Bruzenak
