Pros

Beautiful mountain environment. Fresh air, nice people to work with.

Cons

This company has no concern for the people who try to make it the best. Compensation is rediculously low. The CEO says it is in line with industry standards but he obviously has no clue what it costs to live in the Vail Valley. New young vibrant employees struggle to afford even a mediocre condo. A college education for your children is impossible on a Vail Resorts paycheck- so these much needed young employees leave after a couple of years. A private snowboard lesson costs $775. The instructor takes home $100. Broomfield corp. headquarters obviously has no respect for the mountain employees. Benefits- what other company gives a 30 year employee a small gift certificate (only to be used at a Vail Resorts store) and then deducts taxes out after giving the certificate? Middle management- in complete CYA mode. Do not rock the boat or you are out the door. HR department- is there one? Accounting department rules. It's all about stock price and bottom line. Humans are expendible inventory.

Pros

none. there is nothing good for you.

Cons

You should seriously consider this, if you are a Fleet mechanic looking to turn wrenches in the high country. Keystone/vail resorts is a place too join for the good ole boys club. A bunch of lazy rhinos with no skills. Keystone will throw you under the bus and fork lift. These Gremlins have no talent, ambition, organization, Process, technology, facilities, leadership. This company, shop, and crew will use you to progress them selves. If you want to talk philosophy, be passive aggressive, use people, and blame others, then look no further. You have found the Mecca in America for these traits. From firing 30 year plus managers with nothing to show but one person barley saying thanks for your service. Extorting talented hard working young ambitious humans for the same pay as a lift operator. Feeding their machine and lifestyle with your life, soul, and hard work. You have the spot. I pity the sucker they conn into this career trap. Make sure they pay you out your PTO once they have drained you for all you are worth and realize the truth. Don't do a major job for them, such as swapping an engine. they wont recognize you for it. Keystone will make sure too remind you that they believe you are replaceable with warm bodies. they will make sure to ask that you sweep under your box instead of saying thanks for hard work dedication and service. The epidemy of a modern corporation full of self centered, narcissistic, greedy, skeletons resembling the remains of a Neanderthals. If i could give a 0 rating and it show it I would.

Pros

Offers good corporate employee perks Flexible wfh policy

Cons

No time to enjoy those perks, expect 55hrs a week minimum. Awful "team" culture that encourages everyone to be constantly working, less you "let the team down". Lied to/misled about education compensation and hours required for the job.
