Pros
They like to say a perk is the free ski pass, but that’s about it. Even then you have to pay up to $50 a day for parking. They also like to say a perk is the opportunity to grow with the help of leadership, but everyone gets the same copy and paste yearly goals and review from the supervisors.
Cons
Even before they replaced most of Finance and HR with a 3rd party team from India and had the finance team working 10-20 hour days, this place was a mess. Leadership is a joke. They like to go to leadership summit and pretend they are gaining skills to take back to their team, but really it’s just an excuse for the higher ups to network and make connections: they never bring anything back of substance. It’s a lot more like bosses, and not leaders. They refuse to stand up to their senior leaders when unrealistic expectations are set; and instead are yes men who allow their team to be disgustingly overworked. Vail loves to say they give “an experience of a lifetime” to their employees and that’s very true; it’s just a horrible experience that you may need a lifetime to recover from. They got rid of the work from home policy and now require folks who live within a certain distance of the office to go in, but of course many of the elite senior leaders don’t live within that distance so it doesn’t effect them. We even had one major leader say he might just sell his second house and get a new one to avoid having to go into the office. This is the same leader who proudly announced it was his idea to lay off a huge population of the workforce to be replaced with a 3rd party from overseas so the company could save money. Just another money hungry company who’s senior leaders are drinking the koolaid that somehow taints their minds to no longer see people as people but instead numbers and KPIs. They might be saving money in the short term, but in the long term are only causing themselves bigger issues.
