Pros

Unique perks that you won't find in a lot of other companies (ski pass, retail discounts, free ski lessons, etc). Casual work place and genuine appreciation for the environment. Employees are encouraged to take ski breaks when they can and enjoy powder days. The company is totally aware that they have to maintain the environment to maintain the business. Leadership at the local resorts "get it" and most really care about each employee.

Cons

Average entry level position makes about $9/hour so compensation is too low for the resort towns employees live in - not really a livable wage. Company is growing and growing rapidly - most resort employees feel like a number and replaceable. Corporate office feels totally disconnected to the local resorts - a lot of emphasis on numbers and not on the employees

Pros

They offer free season pass, great discounts, fun coworkers. It is a beautiful place to live and an incredible place to ski and snowboard.

Cons

The pay doesn't support how expensive it is to live in summit county. I would love to make it a career but the pay is not enough

Pros

ski pass, fun co workers, great area to live in, benefits

Cons

pay is terrible, company doesn't care if you stay or go, everyone is replaceable. No chance to move up, all the bosses are old ladies that have work in the same office for 20+ years. Promotions are there but you get a rise of about 25 cents and your workload will triple.
