      Stay away from Vail Resorts

      College program/management training

      Pros

      Decent learning experience and fun locations

      Cons

      Poor management, cheap on wages, eager to burn through employees. Easy to get your way in and move up, if you're willing to sell your soul. No direction or willingness of management to help you along your way. You are on your own! They use illegal immigrants in all their hotels through temp agencies. The "Echo Program" is just a cover up to their greed. Ask any local in any ski town what they think of Vail.

      Embarrassing how low the pay is, even for the hospitality industry.

      Pros

      You'll meet some decent people working there and for some reason other companies actually respect Vail Resorts. You'll also get a free ski pass ($599 value) but since most accounting got moved to Broomfield it could be hard to take advantage of.

      Cons

      The pay is probably the worst in the hospitality industry, which is not high to begin with. If you have a bachelors degree in accounting don't expect to make more than $12 an hour to start off. Health benefits for a single person run over $160 a month and the coverage isn't great. Also, promotions are very weird and do not make sense. It seems people are "promoted" on a horizontal level from department to department. It is not uncommon for someone to go from selling lift tickets on the mountain to auditing. Very corporate setting with a lot of bureaucracy and favoritism.

      Vail resorts. Ski from work.

      Pros

      There are a number of good reasons for working at Vail resorts. There is subsidisied housing offered for employees as well as a free ski pass for the season. Vail resorts also hires a lot of seasonal workers from in and outside the United States. Therefore those of you wanting to soak up some American culture but earn a living and ski at the same time this is definately a good place to go. There are a lot of young people all there to work and play hard.

      Cons

      It is away from the main cities as well as the work being highly seasonal. But a great job for the young and free.
