Vail Resorts reviews

Leadership is a major bottleneck for decisions. Everything is sacrificed on the altar of shareholder value which would be less annoying if the share price wasn’t in the tank. There is also a 3 day per week in office requirement if you live within 50 miles of Broomfield. If you live in castle rock (45 miles) that’s a 1.5 hour each way trip. Most of our salaries were negotiated based on remote work and now if you live in Denver where it’s super expensive you essentially took a pay cut to cover commute expenses and additional childcare and meals in the office. Career pathing is inconsistent, performance ratings are falsely held to a bell curve, decision making is hierarchical to the point of feeling like a government agency and pay scales are 20% below denver market rates.

Leadership does not understand how resorts work and there is a lack of autonomy in any role below c-suite. Every leader seems scared to tell senior leaders what really needs to happen to make the resorts successful.
