Pros

Ski Pass offered, with discounted passes for friends and family! Flexible hours, I had a second job and they worked with me to maintain that second job

Cons

Was hard to get enough time on the mountain. Don't care as much about employees, as they do vacationers.

Pros

Discounts on products that you hopefully are passionate about. Ski Pass. Ok benefits. There are some good people here just not in the right positions.

Cons

Upper Management, lack of employee retention, lack of development and training. Work life balance. They say that work life balance is an important part of the company but you will be made to feel bad if you take time off or put in less than 12 hours a day.

Pros

Obviously the industry is a very fun one for someone that shares a passion in snow sports. In addition I was able to learn a lot and develop skills that helped me get hired in my new role.

Cons

The compensation structure compared to others in the same industry was a bit low. Additionally the hours required to complete my responsibilities was rarely anything under 50 per week.
