Pros

Passion for the outdoors. Smart coworkers.

Cons

VR brands layoffs as "team transformations" and has transformed a lot the past few years. These transformations (+high turnover rate) leave remaining staff to do 2x the work for no addl compensation. Vail (including cororate) pays well below market rate. Very little employee support during the pandemic. Salary cuts. Furloughs. No stipend for WFH supplies.

Pros

Rob Katz makes over $3,000,000.00 per year.

Cons

My first paycheck was only partially paid. It took nearly two months to get the rest of it. I was offered a job in a different state after working an entire season, open to close. That job was given to someone else without anyone notifying me. I made arrangements to move to a different state only to discover that my job was gone. I got a different job with Vail in the same state, and found myself waiting for nearly a month to begin work. Vail also neglected to verify my employment with an apartment complex in Eagle county, which prevented me from renting that apartment. You must work full time in eagle county to rent an apartment in eagle county. After all of this, I found myself working for a manager with issues and a bad attitude who I heard nothing but bad things about from nearly one dozen people in 2 days. I called hr and informed them that I did not want to work in that department and I wouldn’t be going back. With that, they shut off the 2018-2019 season pass that I had supposedly “earned” by working the entire 2018-2019 as a Lead Lift Operator from opening day to closing day. This company is treats employees like crap, and also failed to uphold the stipulations of my employment contract by cutting off my season pass.
