Pros

- Great community of employees - Passionate core for climbing/skiing - Dogs - Beer

Cons

- Old CEO was great, but now, upper-most management now is older and disconnected. They are just BOD proxies making short term decisions. - Non-climbers/skiers are making important brand and product decisions with little understanding of stakeholders. - Low psyche of the employees. They now just punch-in and punch-out. - 3 rounds of layoffs in 2 years

Pros

Schedule that’s the only pro

Cons

Take advantage of every employee!! They make u come in sick but then everyone with compromised immune system get very ill they write you up!!! When I was there they had lost 4 employees and now I’m still in touch with a lot of them and 3 more have quit and another looking for another job because they don’t pay enough and expect you to your job description as well as others while managers just sit at desk (they call it bull pin) they made over $20 million in November but refused to give any raise or bonus!! When they fired myself and another great employee they did so and ended up having to pay us unemployment because they fired us unlawfully
