It is only a seasonal job

Pros

Depends what department you're in. Food and Beverage gets 1 free meal a shift, a free shift adult-drink and 50% off on food.

Cons

They hire anyone and some people are still in the mindset of Middle School and will bully you. They don't get rid of people who call out constantly or arrive late constantly. They pay higher than minimum wage. Management doesn't help out if there's only 1 cook and it's super busy, but will help Cashiers out even if there are 3 of them.

Pros

On the good side, it’s a fun industry. Most of the resorts are nice. You’ll get vendor schwag and an occasional ski day pass or leftover tickets to CEO’s sporting event season tickets. Powdr no longer owns any resorts in its home state-so, you don’t get a season ski pass. (Check out the 2014 news on Park City Mountain Resort for the scoop). Bummer. CEO likes to play ping-pong and working-out. So, there’s a table and gym in the office. If CEO is in the office at lunchtime and hungry, everyone gets fed. Also, alcohol is stocked in the office kitchen. Awesome, dude!!

Cons

So here’s what you’re in for. Rich Dad buys Trust Fund Baby CEO a ski resort. Company grows over time. Issue is CEO doesn’t really want to run a company of this size. Just wants to ski, bro. The executive team members are jockeying to be CEO’s BFF and ride on the company jet and boat. They’re always trying to do the other guys in and don’t mind using their employees to accomplish this. Somebody’s always taking a bullet. Not a good environment to work in. If you’re a white, male Millennial, you might fit into the culture. Otherwise, not so much. Expect to hear profanity, gender comments and off-color jokes regularly. LDS need not apply. You won’t be comfortable there. Depending upon your role, you’ll be ‘the shiny penny’ for two hours to two months. Don’t expect any on-boarding, training, a job description, stated expectations, real feedback from your manager, compensation based upon your accomplishments or promotional opportunity. Too corporate, man. You’ll have to deal with and do work for CEO’s family. And Powdr and the ski industry are so hip, they don’t have to pay competitive wages or offer a 401K. You’ll just want to work there because it’s that cool. Don’t be fooled by glowing reviews on social media. Powdr’s Marketing people are on it. Their motto is “don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story”.
