Hidden Truths....'Fail' Resorts

Recommend

Pros

Many of the employees are good hearted people

Cons

Senior Management and C-Level Management have way too many hidden agendas which can be shared to line level employees. The Senior Management Retreat is based on a show to support Rob Katt and C-Level management’s ego. It’s very sad. There’s a future there but only if you ‘Drink the Kool-Aid’. The discussion and the marketing of Culture & Values are all a green wash for the community. It’s about their own personal agenda and stability, and not the community or employees. There are way too many hidden truths. I sat in all those Senior Meetings and it sickens me greatly.

Pros

- I really do not have one good thing to say about this company. - It is ok if a temporary job, of first job.

Cons

- Very disorganized and cheap company - Don't expect to learn anything from this company or their leaders... they really don't care. - Lowest pay in the market - Time off / holiday : Holidays comes out from your PTO if you decide to take thanksgiving/xmas off.

Pros

Decent perks, cool industry, terrible compensation

Cons

I agree 110% with all of the reviews on this board describing Vail Resorts as “Dysfunctional” with “Disconnected Management”. As one of the recently departed from the corporate office in Broomfield, after several years including the move from Keystone, all I can say is that I am glad to be gone and wouldn't recommend to anyone. Over the past 2-3 years numerous corporate reorganizations have resulted in very high turnover and the wrong individuals in the wrong positions. Most people who have been with the company for 1+ year are not very happy and would attest to all of this. Definitely not a place where you want to go in order further or progress a career. At one point in time, not too long ago, it did live up to the perceived experience that you would expect (good company, cool industry, etc…). Unfortunately that has all changed and it has become the “Wal-Mart” of the ski industry.
