Pros

The pros about working for Specialty Sports Venture is the fact that you get a free season pass for you and your dependents. The employees that they hire are good employees and they do what they are there for.

Cons

The cons about working for Specialty Sports Venture are that they don't offer any benifits to part time employees yet they hire everyone as part time except managers and assistant managers. Also , when they do the hiring they tell everyone that they will get ski breaks alot and i've working for the company for 3 years and have only recieved about 10 each season.

Pros

Stores located in great places. Great co-workers. Good equipment discounts. Decent vacation and flex time. High turnover rate means you can move up the ladder some if you stick around.

Cons

Company places no value in paying adults well enough for them to stick around at the store level. Not the best medical or dental coverage. They offer no vision plan. Depending where you work it is a very seasonal business that is at the mercy of mother nature to provide good snow years. Over reliance on seasonal J1 visa workers in key customer service areas is their major downfall.
