Pros
There were no pros...maybe pretty scenery.
Cons
housing was 500/month per person no sharing allowed. My first paycheck was 460 working full time. My commute one way was 1.5 hours (worked on top of mountain) which none of was paid for even though much of this time was spent on Vail property. So, if the gondola isn't working and I can't get up to work to clock in....too bad. The bus pass was 50.00 further adding to cost of living. Because of this disparity between cost of living and earnings I was forced to take on two other jobs so I could buy food and pay bills. With these two jobs and the long commute, on certain days I was getting three hours of sleep. This left no time to enjoy the mountain and the free lessons (the only perks of this job). On top of all this, the people I worked with were internationals on student visas. To be fair some of them were great. And meeting others from different countries is always rewarding. However, the majority had never worked before and had very poor work ethics. Very poor!! This made the work environment even more challenging and frustrating. I can not express how horrible of an experience this was and would warn everyone, everywhere to stay far away from this place and company. THE BENEFITS DO NOT OUT WEIGH THE CONS. Sincerly, Vail hater.
