Pros

Ski Pass is nice (if you have time to use it), Living in the mountains (if you have time to enjoy it), Meeting interesting people.

Cons

I worked for VR for 3 years and actually thought very highly of the company at 1st. However, this all changes once you see how the VR politics work. There is absolutely no room for growth, even if it is promised to you. Important employees with high potential are lost in the shuffle. VR has forgotten they are a ski company. They care more about the bottom line than guest loyalty and employee appreciation. Pay is extremely low. The mountains are expensive, but VR does not acknowlege this. Upper Management is far too disconnected and only care about P&L statements. They care nothing about front-line employee and middle management morale. There is also a lot of micro-managing. If you are a manager, upper management will tell you to own your department, but never listen to any suggestions or good ideas.

Pros

Free Ski Pass, snob appeal--others are impressed when you say you work there

Cons

Little direction or communication from Senior management, left on your own. Workers tend to fit their work in around their recreation, so forget trying to get anything done on a short time frame. If you aren't an expert skier, triathelete, or if you have a BMI above 15, forget it. Full of narcissists. Not team oriented so Boomers with work ethic beware. Pay is on lower end of scale.
