Pros

easy work, talk about skiing all day long, friendly managers and employees, diverse set of employee compared to the rest of corporate, ski pass, discounts, business comes in spurts, good for young college grads, it will make you love skiing more if you're not already hooked, treats in the office, paid 30 minute lunch, lenient and flexible scheduling, room for advancement, end of the season is so dead you have time to look for next job, nice clean office, excellent work/ life balance, no work when you leave work, easy commute out of Denver, innovative company, deal with mostly affluent clients, so they are more intelligent / understand better

Cons

repetitive, pay is not great but fits the position, not long term, senior upper level management doesn't care about you, somewhat under recognized for role in company, have to tell customers inaccurate and unethical things like we will send you to the collection agencies, no you cannot cancel the pass even if you are lifelong customers/ your daughter is sick. Vail is like any other her large corporation, deceitful to a certain extent. Most of it from irresponsible people not buying insurance and something coming up. but managers make exceptions that agents cannot, people either love or hate vail, the people that hate it call in so you deal with people against Vails transformation of the industry.

Pros

- Most people are smart, passionate, and enjoyable to work with and be around. - Fairly frequent opportunities for development and advancement through the internal job board. - Nice perks if you're into skiing or riding.

Cons

- There's an unspoken expectation to regularly work significantly more hours because the majority of employees are very passionate about the ski and ride industry, which isn't great for work life balance. There's not much down time either; you're either hustling in season or hustling to prepare for the next season. - Climate change poses a significant threat to the future of the company. The season pass model mitigates some of the impacts, but not as much as senior leadership asserts. And, since bonuses are tied to company results, you can end up working super hard all year and still end up getting half of your bonus target due to uncontrollable weather conditions. - The culture has taken a serious hit since enterprise transformation work began. Lots of people are constantly stressed out and the atmosphere in the office is depressing. - Most of the time, it feels like senior leadership makes decisions in a vacuum without consulting any of the people that would be responsible for the downstream work associated with the decision. For example, I've seen senior leaders decide on a savings target multiple times without consulting the experts, who then have to scramble to figure out how to make it work. It creates chaos and negatively impacts morale. - This organization has a wordsmithing problem. I've never worked at a company that spends such an inordinate amount of time on the framing of a message compared to the actual substance of the message.
