Pros

Fellow ski instructors are fun to work with

Cons

Vail treats their employees like delinquents. Pay is horrendous; not allowed to solicit for tips. If I had a full group lesson, vail would pay me 4% of the revenue. Unlivable. Inter-department relations were also a nightmare.

Pros

We get to live and work in the mountains. The benefits, 401k and health insurance are good, but not great.

Cons

The pay is generally very low for skilled jobs. They figure that since the job is so cool, there is a line of people waiting to take your job and that we are basically replacable. Not much respect. Also, there is little interest in employee empowerment or advancement

Pros

Wonderful working in the mountains.

Cons

Impossible to make enough to grow financially. Extreme corporate greed. No real care for the front line employees, or middle management for that matter. It's all about quarterly profit, stock price, and investor dividends. Unless you have a trust fund, don't waste your time working for Vail Resrts.
