Pros
The people that were my direct peers were great to work with.
Cons
I have been waiting to find the right words to share about working at Vail. I would highly recommend anyone considering working at Vail to double check before they accept an offer. As you have probably seen from other glassdoor reviews. Things are not as great as they seem. At Vail, people are dispensable and not seen as assets to further the business. Instead of developing people Vail simply just gets rid of anyone they deem as "lo-po" or low potential. This is evidenced by the fact as soon as people leave Vail they get significant salary increases, the reason they do not pay market rate for talented individuals is because they don't care about those individuals. Why would they want to pay someone market rate only to fire them whenever they are labeled as "lo-po". Also, recently it has been discovered that Vail 'restructured' their on-mountain marketing teams. This layoff left numerous people without jobs, and a vague email was sent out to teams. This caused the workers who had their positions eliminated to answer extremely tough questions about how their positions would be discontinued. Further, some of these folks transferred from corporate HQ into the positions that were eliminated within recent weeks of the layoffs not knowing they were going to lose their position as a result of trying to further their Vail experience. That means the people in charge of those positions actively let someone enter a role they knew was going to be eliminated. At Vail, you do not allow data to tell a story, you must have the data tell the story the "higher ups" want to tell. And if your data does not tell the story they want to hear then you are forced make those metrics fit the story they want to tell. 2 + 2 = 5 at Vail. If you are not "aligned" at Vail you are seen as a threat to the business and then terminated. Please take this as a food for thought and reconsider your pursuit of a position with this company.
