Vail Resorts reviews

The cons are quite literally the fact that anyone excluding the front line up to Entry level management absolutely DOES NOT care about operating ski resorts, nor do most of them know how to. COVID clearly did a number of cleaning house because every facet of the corporate office is utterly useless. HR is a complete joke, especially since they keep trying to find 'innovative ways to market' but do absolutely nothing to actually assist employees in acquiring a job. In high school we were taught to apply, then follow up with the hiring manager. That is absolutely not an option. They are also so focused on acquiring employees for seasonal they do absolutely nothing to retain staff, so you're constantly hiring keystone positions along with seasonal staff and getting people who have 0 knowledge of the industry trained by more people who have 0 knowledge of the industry.

If you raise concerns that don't align with leadership's narrative, those concerns are dismissed. If you continue to raise those concerns, instead of trying to understand and address them, leadership will dismiss them as coming from someone who doesn't have what it takes to be part of their leadership culture. After all, they can leverage their brand to hire someone new. If you're not a director or above, you're replaceable. The above concerns include work/life balance, compensation, and team input on prioritization. IT has lost several all-star employees due to all this.
