It is what it is. A dumpster fire.

Pros

Benefits, pretty communities, alot of amazingly talented people...

Cons

Obviously, pay. That aside, in my department, the management was awful. Director didn't know how to use a ticket scanner and the Senior Manager was more worried about how he was viewed rather than training and helping his direct reports succeed. Three departmental managers left within 6 months of one another. Coincidence? Ha ha ha. No. HR was awful. No consistency in policies from Director to his staff. We were told that we were not allowed to speak with media when housing got to crisis stage and our positions were all but threatened to keep us quiet. I could go on because I don't feel there were any senior managers working at Keystone that were qualified to be in their positions. Very few directors were qualified. Both GM's were great, but in typical Vail fashion, rather than letting that person establish a protocol for running the resort, they shuffled the deck and moved GM's around in order to promote the "Yes Men" GMs, none of whom were liked by their staff, but asked "how high" when told to jump, which counts for more than actually thinking for yourself. Being resigned to a food bank and used clothing sale promoted by your employer is just too much to swallow.

Pros

Easy to recruit for the great outdoors and the people you work with are the best. the culture is young and fun and there are ski days built in

Cons

The pay is just as bad as you have heard and the ski pass doesn't make up for it. The TA team is a mess, lots of drama and turn over - the people at the top don't really care.

Pros

Amazing views , good experience, that’s it.

Cons

Terrible pay, they make 140 a person on one lift ticket., the resorts are over sold so the lift lines are long, the food is expensive and taste like Mc Donald’s. The rich get richer and the poor poorer basically. They ship in j1s from over seas and pay them dirt. Terrible company that basically supports space labor without helping the people who run it, you will always be on bottom working here.
