      This is a great place to work right on the mountain

      Pros

      Working through Vail you will receive a ski pass, which is probably one of the better benefits of the job. Also, you are right on Peak 8 with multiple lifts right out the back door. Majority of the people you work with are very chill and kind. During the winter, you'll meet people from all over the US and the world, all looking to enjoy a winter on the mountain.

      Cons

      The pay is pretty poor and during the winter it is constantly busy and high pressure. There isn't a whole lot of training. they kind of show you through the system and around the property for a day or two and then throw you into the mix and expect you to learn as you go.

      Pros

      Living in Vail, CO is amazing! Every employee shares shares a passion for skiing or snowboarding and the mountain lifestyle and that creates a great community. As an employee some of the best perks are a free ski pass, half price food, ski locker at the base of the mountain, and tons of discounts on ski gear. Benefits are also good if you have enough hours to get them or are year round.

      Cons

      Pay sucks. It is expensive to live in a ski town and for lots of employees half or more of each months pay goes towards rent. Also, working seasonal jobs has major disadvantages. If you have health benefits through the company, you probably lose them for a few months out of the year, you might have significant amounts of time off, and you don't accumulate benefits like PTO. There is also very high turn over.
