Most seasonal jobs started at about $10/hr, even for those of us that weren't tipped. We were severly under staffed yet the resort took in record profits. Each individual employee was doing the work of two or three people, but there were no bonuses or overtime pay (until you worked 60 hours in a week). Everyone was super burnt out and half the staff quit, leading to even more work for those of us left and slower service for guests. The guests didn't seem to care who was actually at fault and took it out on us.
Covid safety was also not great. There were some rules (including a property wide mask mandate) but they weren't enforced that well in public areas, and employee only spaces had no enforcement. Half the employees had masks under their chins at work the whole season and no one from management ever said or did anything. How could you expect guests to follow a mask mandate when half the employees don't? There were probably 50+ covid cases out of 300 or so employees (hard to know exactly since we were kept entirely in the dark and never told when we were potentially exposed, I only knew because I lived next to one of the quarantine buildings and saw how many people went in throughout the year). Despite that many cases, I never so much as saw a manager nicely ask an employee to wear their mask right.
They're requiring employees for winter to be vaccinated, so at least if they still don't enforce the rules the overall risk will be lower.
