Awesome office environment, exciting events, but hard to see a long term career - Anonymous employee Burton Snowboards Employee Review

Pros

They create a fun loving, youthful environment and breed a culture that is passionate about winter sports. They are dog friendly, promote riding on pow days and taking your lunch break in the bowl out back. It's a flexible environment, and feels family owned (because it is.)

Cons

Personal success at the company can be weather dependent. Salaries are low compared to what you'd get paid elsewhere, and the trade off is the fun work environment. Long term, this is not sustainable for keeping top talent. Long hours are the norm, travel is hefty depending on your role.

Pros

The perks are real: paid snowboard days, discounted gear, and some genuinely incredible colleagues.

Cons

Getting promoted here is nearly impossible. You'll be underpaid and underappreciated, but subtly convinced this is acceptable because you're part of something "cool." Management is chaotic and the company values are laughably hypocritical. The handful of promotions that do happen internally are largely driven by nepotism and favoritism from senior leadership. Their diversity and inclusion efforts appear to be more of a marketing initiative than a genuine commitment; the workforce is overwhelmingly homogeneous, and many employees are only able to afford to work here with financial support— think family money (White, Vermont, UVM/Champlain graduates). If you're looking to grow — personally, professionally, or creatively — do it somewhere that actually makes that possible. The environment is deeply political, job security feels constantly uncertain despite being overworked, and there is little to no long-term roadmap or direction from leadership. The people are great. The company is not. Go somewhere that deserves you.
