      Being treated like crap in one of the most beautiful places in America.

      Pros

      You get a free pass... That's really the only reason to work there. You also get subsidized housing (if you get there early) but much of the housing is disgusting and almost unlivable. That said, you are working in a beautiful place with fun (if incompetent) people. Feedback is direct but actual recognition comes in the from of gift certificates and du-rags.

      Cons

      The pay is awful. You can't get OT. Promotion is limited and based on seniority, not skill. The low level management is largely miserable and incompetent. You will not get to ski and ride nearly as much as you want. There are no opportunities for raises. There is zero flexibility in scheduling.

      Pros

      Discount is decent if you can afford to spend the money you don’t make

      Cons

      Set up so you’ll never actually achieve budget goals

      Be ready to get overworked and underpaid

      Pros

      Free ski pass, awesome coworkers, ability to work remotely depending on the job

      Cons

      Continued budget cuts resulting in not back-filling positions and spreading workload on already strained staff, disparity with FTO where some employees have try unlimited and others get stuck working over 40 hours a week to cover consistently. Also recent initiatives have made promotional opportunities slim and not as attainable as was possible pre-COVID
