Pros
-Some very dedicated employees -Preference given to internal candidates for job openings -Willing to give employees opportunities in positions they may not have extensive experience in
Cons
-Extremely high turnover -Low staffing levels with a fanatical focus on reducing headcount whenever possible -No work/life balance because of the lack of staffing. Regularly expected to work 50-60 hours a week as a salaried employee. -It seems as though everyone is frustrated with the Broomfield office, both internal and external customers are constantly providing negative feedback. -Lack of respect in the workplace. Never seen so many shouting matches and fighting in a workplace between peers. -Combines the worst aspects of a large corporation and a small business -Lack of communication between corporate and resorts. Each resort does it's own thing yet corporate is expected to handle everything. Standardize processes and create efficiencies or get rid of the Broomfield office and truly let the resorts run on their own -Compensation is so far below market that outside recruiters specifically target our employees. It's common knowledge in Colorado that Vail pays very poorly for all levels below Director/VP level positions. Executive team regularly states that conversations around increasing wages are not going to happen.
