Vail Resorts reviews

Wages are terrible when compared to other hospitality/ski companies in the Colorado area. Housing is outdated, scarce and expensive. Company seems to rely on the "if you don't work here, someone else will" mentality all the while touting their "amazing" employee development program. There seems to be a push to get employee feedback, however nothing seems to come from it. Gap between middle and upper management compensation is insulting, given that middle management does all of the heavy lifting and upper management makes all of the bad decisions because they're out of touch with the boots on the ground. Too many meetings, when typically an email would suffice. Somewhere along the line the company forgot how to have fun because it's a liability to the STOCKHOLDERS. Buzzwords and corporate speak goes against the main reason people move to your mountains.

-Extremely high turnover -Low staffing levels with a fanatical focus on reducing headcount whenever possible -No work/life balance because of the lack of staffing. Regularly expected to work 50-60 hours a week as a salaried employee. -It seems as though everyone is frustrated with the Broomfield office, both internal and external customers are constantly providing negative feedback. -Lack of respect in the workplace. Never seen so many shouting matches and fighting in a workplace between peers. -Combines the worst aspects of a large corporation and a small business -Lack of communication between corporate and resorts. Each resort does it's own thing yet corporate is expected to handle everything. Standardize processes and create efficiencies or get rid of the Broomfield office and truly let the resorts run on their own -Compensation is so far below market that outside recruiters specifically target our employees. It's common knowledge in Colorado that Vail pays very poorly for all levels below Director/VP level positions. Executive team regularly states that conversations around increasing wages are not going to happen.
