Pros
Vail Resorts is truly filled with people who are passionate about the work they do and the locations where they do it. It is important to everyone that the mission statement is experienced by guests and employees alike (Experience of a lifetime). The overall culture is amazing - I have never worked with so many people who truly love what they do, will work hard to accomplish amazing results, enjoy the outdoors and be so proud of their company. There are more bright and energetic people throughout all areas of the company, working hard to accomplish innovative goals and it is truly a pleasure to be a part of that.
Cons
While they strongly believe in promoting from within and growing the careers of those at Vail Resorts, they tend to pay the person and not the position. People who work their way up through the company find themselves in salary ranges well below competitive wages. It is a shame to lose so many talented people due to the fact that they can no longer ignore interesting offers at much higher salaries.
