Over the years some drama or grievances within the department are bound to develop. Just like all form of paradise, you can get sick of waking up and being in Disney World every day. Not viable as a career, I don't know how these lifelong guys do it by changing locations for summer or fighting through dead periods aka May, September, October, and half of November. Sometimes you realize as a private lesson instructor you are pretty much a prostitute, standing around waiting to get picked, often because a guest wants a young, fun, pretty (sorry cant request that ;-) ) male/female instructor. Speak Spanish? never tell anyone you do, it is a career ending mistake...majority of your lessons will be forced to work with clients from Mexico CIty or South America who don't tip, and expect you to wait at their every need. You make $5 more an hour, but it's not worth it.
Meeting and becoming best friends with amazing people from all over the world only to watch them leave and slowly disappear from your life year after year is sad.
After 2 years you can no longer get employee housing, welcome to the over saturated rent market of the Vail Valley, I lived two towns over one year, then had to drive in terrible conditions to work rather than take an hour long bus ride. Rarely are 6 month leases offered, and when they do it's expensive.
401k match is 1% why bother?
