Vail Resorts reviews

The company solicits favorable business media exposure, but does not live up to corporate values with regard to pay, environmental responsibility or ethics of management. Employees from line through middle management are drastically underpaid, while the company continues to purchase new resorts with cash outright. It saves even more by recruiting a foreign workforce, cutting corners on building repair and facility maintenance, using volunteer labor in exchange for lift passes, and maintaining substandard salary and hourly pay levels for employees other than senior management. Its infrastructure exists on federal public lands where it notoriously and annually escalates prices because there is a legislated lack of competition. While recent magazine articles have touted the company's "compassionate culture", the reality is very different. If you're looking for a classic, alienating corporate experience, this publicly-owned company becomes a more discomfiting workplace every year. Talk about transparently/exploitatively managing for the lowest common denominator - this is why the best and brightest here at all levels are continually exiting. Those who stay are often not here because of the company's excellence, but because of the healthy mountain lifestyle and need for family stability. If you're single and looking for a real career with real economic self-betterment on a timeline, go elsewhere.

The list is too long. Some of the highlights: *Poor management *Too much work to get done in a short amount of time, with unreliable/limited resources *Terrible, non-existent exit strategy or procedure for seasonal employees (corporate) *HR is a numbers game that's totally focused on volume and not the individual *Complete disregard for new Colorado laws that legalize use of recreational medication *Managers who are judgmental and critical of candidates and fellow employees *Managers who openly practice favoritism among employees, based upon trivial criteria *Managers/Leads of departments who are power-hungry bullies who push people to obey, not to succeed *Nepotism to such an elevated degree, it's difficult to believe that room for advancement even exists for those outside of the 'cliques' *Total disregard for employees who work at the resorts. Long hours, low pay and ungrateful managers, who threaten employees constantly with losing their job, thus the winter pass *Emphasis on implementation of timely, costly projects that don't work *Unrealistic expectations are placed upon employees and then they receive terrible performance reviews, that almost guarantee NO advancement or re-employment opportunities *This company is openly biased to snowboarders *Promises, promises, with no intention of owning up to them *Employees are treated differently across the board. Example: uniformity during season's end in HR are non-existent. Some employees receive exit interviews and a performance review; some do not. *Too many to list
