Pros

Skiing on your time off Beautiful place to live

Cons

When I originally got a ski instructing job they promised me housing in the new Driggs unit and when I got there, they said I had to go live in a trailer out in Victor which is an extra 30 minutes away. We were getting a new, random roommate every few weeks and we had no say in who was rooming in our trailer. The employee bus to get you to Targhee was inconsistent and didn't work well with employee schedules. We weren't given guaranteed hours as ski instructors and I barely worked 5 hours a day with an hour bus ride commute. Some days I'd get up there and there were no lessons for me, but management still had me stay on "standby" and not get paid. The lessons are a 2 hour AM and a 2 hour PM,

Pros

Great Place to ski, good community, relatively affordable.

Cons

Below average pay relative to industry standards across multiple departments. Poor communication/effectiveness of HR to provide employees with timely, accurate and supportive measures. The owner/GM is not fit to lead and/or communicate/operate a "world-class resort". In almost 25 years of working in the outdoor/customer service industry, his demeanor is by far the most unprofessional/disrspectful and appalling I've encountered. Whether you are looking to begin a career in this industry or looking to advance, I would highly discourage employment at this resort.
