Pros

Great people who share the same passion for quality work and fun in the outdoors. There is definitely the "work hard/play hard" mantra, with emphasis on enjoying our ski resorts, golf courses, etc.

Cons

Lots of meetings can make it difficult to stay on top of the workload.

Thank you for your feedback! We love that our company attracts those that are passionate about what they do and where they spend their time, it really allows us to come together as a strong community that knows how to have fun together. We agree that one of the challenges of working in a highly collaborative community is that the meeting time needed to talk through a project can be arduous. The leadership team recognized this during last year’s Leadership Summit and challenged us to ruthlessly prioritize when meetings need to take place, as well as where they take place so we can all enjoy the outdoor areas we love. Allowing all of us more time to focus on the action items and meat of the projects taking place, we are excited to continue to see this initiative grow. Thank you again for all that you do

Pros

Great people, autonomy, ski pass, work-hard/play-hard environment, people not miserably working their lives away I was only a contractor in the corporate office, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone was so nice and helpful from the moment I got there. The people live the mission, which is very nice. Another nice thing about the culture was that there was never a time when someone didn't hold the door for me. It was very refreshing to see men always let ladies go first, even in the coffee line. There is a culture of respect for each other- not a lot of complaining behind each other’s back (at least that I saw on my team)- which is priceless. I was still given an Epic pass for every member of my family, which was a really nice perk. I am also considered an employee until the winter season is up, so I still get all the discounts that go along with being an employee. No employer is perfect. Yes, it has the normal large corporate issues, but so will every major corporation. Great gig while it lasted with lots of freedom to get my job done. Pretty much the culture of the team was “Don’t give me a reason to worry about you not getting your work done. Be an adult and do your stuff.” I had a good time, which is rare to say about this thing we call “work.”

Cons

Normal corporate stuff- like any large corporate orgainzation

Pros

I love teaching children to ski, it's passion. I am teaching other s to ski where I learned to ski 20 years ago. Every one I work with is supportive and friendly.

Cons

It's Vail Resorts, a mmonopoly. They care more about there million are customers and their $35 a person lunches. My uniform is 100% NOT waterproof, and that hasn't changed in the four years I have been there. My schedule is Always wrong and they blaim me for it. To bad I love teaching so much, because I Hate working for vail! Unless you plan working 50+ years don't plan on getting a promotion.
