Forbes Names Dollywood Among America’s Best Employers
Dollywood has been recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Midsize Employers, marking another accolade for the Pigeon Forge, Tennessee theme park as it gears up for its 40th-anniversary season. Dollywood stands out as the only theme park to make the list, highlighting its commitment to its employees, known as hosts.

Susan Loveday, Dollywood’s Vice President of Human Resources, emphasized the company’s unique culture, stating, “The genuine care our hosts show for one another is inspiring and manifests itself in the way our hosts are able to take care of our guests.” She also noted the competitive benefits and growth opportunities available but stressed that the welcoming environment is what truly sets Dollywood apart.
Dollywood ranked 142nd overall and second within the “Travel & Leisure” sector, which included 15 companies. Other notable companies in the sector included Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, Aristocrat, and Virgin Group. The Forbes list, compiled by Statista, surveyed over 217,000 U.S. employees at companies with over 1,000 workers. The ranking is based on anonymous employee feedback regarding their willingness to recommend their employer and their evaluations of other companies in their respective industries.
This recognition aligns with Dollywood’s reputation for exceptional guest experience. The park has consistently been voted the friendliest theme park in the world and has received numerous awards, including the Golden Ticket Award for Best Guest Experience. Dollywood was also recently named the #1 theme park in the country for customer service by Newsweek.
Dollywood is actively hiring for the 2025 season, with positions ranging from part-time to full-time, including opportunities in culinary, merchandise, park operations, and lodging. Two upcoming hiring events are scheduled: February 15th at the Sevierville Civic Center and February 22nd at Morristown Landing.
Dollywood offers a comprehensive benefits package, including 100% free tuition through the GROW U. program, access to an employee healthcare center, complimentary park admission for family and friends, free meals during shifts, and a variety of other perks.
