Pros

You get a free pass... That's really the only reason to work there. You also get subsidized housing (if you get there early) but much of the housing is disgusting and almost unlivable. That said, you are working in a beautiful place with fun (if incompetent) people. Feedback is direct but actual recognition comes in the from of gift certificates and du-rags.

Cons

The pay is awful. You can't get OT. Promotion is limited and based on seniority, not skill. The low level management is largely miserable and incompetent. You will not get to ski and ride nearly as much as you want. There are no opportunities for raises. There is zero flexibility in scheduling.

Pros

There are a number of good reasons for working at Vail resorts. There is subsidisied housing offered for employees as well as a free ski pass for the season. Vail resorts also hires a lot of seasonal workers from in and outside the United States. Therefore those of you wanting to soak up some American culture but earn a living and ski at the same time this is definately a good place to go. There are a lot of young people all there to work and play hard.

Cons

It is away from the main cities as well as the work being highly seasonal. But a great job for the young and free.
